Classics Edition);With the Introductory Essay 'The Jazz Age Literature of the Lost Generation '","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnest Hemingway's first piece of long-form literature, \u003ci\u003eThe Torrents of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e, is a satirical novella that the great American author wrote in just ten days and is a rare early example of his work.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSet in small-town America in Northern Michigan, \u003ci\u003eThe Torrents of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e follows two characters: a writer, Scripps O'Neill, and a Great War veteran, Yogi Johnson. Scripps represents the small-mindedness of suburban America and repeatedly falls in love with women who claim to have knowledge of literature, whereas Yogi has fought in the First World War, experienced a severe injury, and fallen in love in Paris. Throughout the novella, Yogi struggles to fall in love with someone new, and he represents the Lost Generation of Jazz Age literature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1926, \u003ci\u003eThe Torrents of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e was intended to parody Sherwood Anderson's \u003ci\u003eDark Laughter\u003c\/i\u003e (1925) and the modern realists of the Roaring 20s. It is an effective satire of these styles while maintaining hidden depths of meaning. Hemingway's novella is a highly entertaining and short book, which would make an excellent read for those who wish to begin collecting classic American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11945338\"\u003eErnest Hemingway\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Read \u0026amp; Co.
