Life in Europe
In Paris, Ernest Heingway became a part of the Lost Generation, a groupd of writers under the influence of one very wise woman. Gertrude Stein was the mentor of many young writers like F. Scott Fitsgerald, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, and James Joyce. Stein coined the phrase "the lost generation" because more and more people in the 1920s were rejecting American post World War I values. Hemingway popularized this term in his publication of The Sun Also Rises, which he wrote later on in his time in Paris.The novel is widely considered Hemingway's greatest work, artfully examining the postwar disillusionment of his generation.
During his first 20 months in Paris, Hemingway filed 88 stories for the Toronto Star newspaper. He covered the Greco-Turkish War, where he witnessed the burning of Smyrna and wrote travel pieces such as "Tuna Fishing in Spain" and "Trout Fishing All Across Europe: Spain Has the Best, Then Germany". Hemingway was devastated on learning that Hadley had lost a suitcase filled with his manuscripts at the Gare de Lyon as she was traveling to Geneva to meet him in December 1922. The following September, their son John Hadley Nicanor, whose godmother was Gertrude Stein, was born on October 10, 1923. At this time, Hemingway's first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems was published.
Soon after, the writer had also begun frequenting the famous Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain. He began an unhealthy habit of drinking often. Soon after Ernest Hemingway wrote the The Sun Also Rises Hemingway and Hadley divorced, due in part to his affair with a woman named Pauline Pfeiffer, who would become Hemingway's second wife shortly after his divorce from Hadley was finalized. The author continued to work on his book of short stories, Men Without Women.
