In his typical "telegraph" style, Hemingway records events often avoiding to speak about the key things.

The artistic innovation of Ryabchuk the prose writer, whose works are characterized by the paradox and elegant irony combined with sympathy, lyricism, and light melancholia, has still not been properly appreciated.

Here, love appears as a multifaceted and incomprehensible feeling that is not logical, that elevates an individual over the routine making him/her free and dependent at the same time – a feeling that gives and takes. A feeling that one needs to have experienced to consider him/herself human.

This book is dangerous: after reading it, one develops the desire to simultaneously go on a trip to the Balkans, drink a glass of red wine, and listen to opera arias in a comfortable lodge in the theater.

The iconic work depicts the postwar "lost generation" of the 1920s. With his short concise strokes, which became a hallmark of his style, Hemingway portrays the fragile illusion of balance, the self-destructive instinct that prevents the characters from fully unfolding their capacity. The only option for them is to feast while the fiesta goes on, and each time hope for a new dawn.
