The Lost Generation: Hemingway and the circle of ex-pat friends he later incorporated in The Sun Also Rises. Top photo includes, Harold Loeb, the model for Robert Cohn in The Sun Also Rises, on the left, and Hemingway in the center.
In the bottom photo: Hemingway on the left, Harold Loeb, Lady Duff Twysden, Hadley, Don Stewart and Pat Guthrie.
Writing the book, Hemingway thought of himself as the Jake Barnes character, Lady Duff Twysden was Brett, Pat Guthrie was Mike Cambell, and as mentioned, Harold Loeb was Robert Cohn.

Paul, these pictures are precious. What a coincidence, Hollywood channel aired The Sun Also Rises this week. I asked a friend to record and he gave me the DVD yesterday so I will probably see it tonight.
Hi Carlos, thanks for stopping by, I see you have posted, too.
I hope that you like the movie - it was ok if I remember right - worth watching. I hope that you have the whole weekend off this time :)
I loved those old pics...they look like they could never age, what an irony...I havent seen The Sun Also Rises, but plan to now that you have made it look of interest :)
Those are cool photos!
I remember that Dos Passos had a big fall out with Hem later on, after Spain, I think...
Paul, since you really enjoy Hem's writing, have you read any Tolstoy or Turgenev, his biggest influences?
Hello Isabella, yes they had a falling out ( which is a shame - both were so interesting). It was after the execution of a journalist by the leftists in the Spanish Civil War that Hemingway defended - & Dos Passos opposed vehemently.
I've read Tolstoy but more of Turgenev - Tolstoy was the one to try & beat for Hemingway :)
ohh a new post:) I was waiting for it very much...'cos I like the photos you find:)
Hello Zsolt, thanks for visiting - your phoitos are always worth the visit, too :)
A lot of information that I know only some small things about. I admire your devotion to the man and the artist. My daughter thinks he is super or was super. The 6-toed cats or something she talks about.

Hello Abraham, I like Hemingway, Paris (although I've never been there) and the era that he was in Paris. So, that's part of my attraction to the subject.
The cats are a great story, too - in Key West there are approximately 60, "double pawed" cats. I don't know about Cuba where he lived for about 20 years.
I'll have to look that one up.
That era must have been so interesting and 'effervecent'. Of course nowadays times are very agitated too, but it's different. A different era definetely, I think you know what I mean.
It has been a long time since I've read something by Hemingway. Your blog is inspiring me to re-read some of his works. Maybe The Sun Also Rises will be next! Fascinating pictures.
Lori, I'd try A Movable Feast!
Of course, everyone loves the pictures, and I have to agree with them. Just as a note, though... I felt a little stupid for not knowing who "Hadley" was, so I did a Wikipedia search. As it turns out, the entry for Hadley Richardson is surprisingly short; if you, as a Hemingway aficionado, have extra information that Wikipedia does not supply, you might have some fun editing that article (and other related ones) if you had the time and motivation. :)
Hello Josy - thanks for visiting, I'll give it a go - although I tried it with Hem, (tried to get them to add an online link) & I got nowhere.
I hear that they have a committee now that approves things - unlike the early days of Wikipedia.
Aw thanks Pauly...yep...he was special and will be missed...
Love ya! Doin' ok?
;)

These two shots are from Google's Image Search & they are from the Hemingway Collection at the JFK Library in Boston.
My back hurts, so I'll lie flat on the floor for a while and listen in on everybody else contribute meaningful stuff. Hope you're having a good weekend.
I love your blog here Paul. These are so nostalgic and just wonderful to take in...thanks for sharing.
You are amazing Paul :D I have enjoyed this for sure.
HEY YOU!
;)xo
Love these old images!
Don Stewart...he's definitely my favourite.
I am not one of them, but I have lost my generation, if you can imagine what I mean.
Worn right out. But waiting for your visit soon Paul! Hope you are good.
PS I am also just reading Carlos' comment at the top. Remember me writing to you about that? It looks like I missed it again!!
Thanks a lot for coming by today, Paul. It meant a lot to me, the responses, though it took a huge effort that has a price.
I liked what you wrote too, about good luck to all of us. I got it!
Take care, you too.
Well, thanks for all your visits to my blog. I appreciate them.
The wild turkeys can fly. This one could fly but its mate is setting on eggs and he doesn't leave. He is also heavy set from being stuffed I guess. Those not living on farms like this wild one does, are thinner but all can fly. Even a chicken can fly and if you want to keep them in the pens outside then you have to clip or shorten the feathers on one wing so they can't fly.
I was out looking at a friend's wildlife farm the other evening and he was telling me that he came home and looked outside and there was a hen and her youngsters -- about 8 altogether and all were as large as those you would buy for dinner in a store.
Obviously they fly too.
Hi Paul! I watched a travelogue on Madrid last night and one of the restaurants featured had a big sign in lights "Hemingway never ate here". Made me laugh and...think of you as well.
You have not been around lately, so I wonder, how is everything?
I'm fine, thanks, Isabella - thanks for the concern!
Hi Paul, I hope you are doing well. I haven't heard of you in a while so I came to visit.
The pictures are great.
Kissessssssss
Fab photos as usual!
I have posted a photo of the missing UK girl Madeleine in the hope that the more people see her, the more chance she may be found. Please take a sec to pop over to Cheltenham, to put her face in your head. Thanks to you and your readers.
Hi Lynn, I'm posting a link to a pic & info on the missing girl:

hi
please visit my blog to answer a question
Read the book... way more interesting!!
Lost Generation Photos, top photo, woman on the right: That does not look to me like Hadley. Are you sure the caption is correct?
I agree - haven't checked that post in a long time. Let me see if I can find out where that caption info is from.
Well, it sure doesn't look like Hadley, but the only source I can find so far is questioning who the standing man is. it also seems to be saying that woman on the right is Hadley:
