The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway. The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway’s circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway’s life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway presents his notion that the “Lost Generation”-considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I-was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity.

In a room that looks much like her own but where everything is exactly reversed, Alice sees chessmen walking around. And as she steps out of the looking-glass house into the garden of live flowers, she is taken to the Hill by the Red queen. “I declare it‘s marked out just like a large chess-board!” Alice said at last. “There ought to be some men moving about somewhere—and so there are!… Oh, what Fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I couldn’t mind being a pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a queen, best.” as Alice embarks on an adventure, joining in as a pawn in the game and exploring this fantastical world of chessmen, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, will she become a queen?.
