Every time I start to read Ernest Hemingway, I think at first: Kind of boring, isn't it? After 5 hours of non-stop reading, I sit in the corner of my room, tear-stained, having entirely forgotten about time and space around me. The few words he chooses deeply affect me. And the indifference towards the living, angry bulls in the streets of Pamplona symbolizes an entire war-traumatized generation that no longer knows what is good or what is bad. So they hold on to their glasses and try to survive. A glass of rum to Hemingway and his friends!
