Hemingway"s The Sun Also Rises in Korea

&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the 1952 translation of A Farewell to Arms in Korean, Hemingway has been widely read and stoicism, one which explains his literary attitude, was popular especially in the age of military dictatorship in South Korea in the 1960s and 1970s. The days of rose and wine, which exemplify the life-style of the Lost Generation, were considered a virtue for Koreans to waste their lives in the world of discontent. Jake Barnes, the protagonist of The Sun Also Rises, therefore was a symbolic figure who endures but wastes away the post-Korean War period of being lost.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;After a brief introduction of general reception history of Hemingway along with an investigation of how we have read The Sun Also Rises, the argument goes on how to teach a new Hemingway for students of today in Korea. Using The Sun Also Rises as an exemplary literary text befitting to teach various readings and theories, among them, even a religious reading, a necessity of cultural close reading is proposed for Hemingway&quot;s stylish texts of irony and understatement, concealments and iceberg.
