The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway’s masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.

Set in post-World War I Europe, the novel is a testimony to the spirit of the Lost Generation, its anxieties and its disenchantment. It follows the journey of Jake Barnes, a war veteran, and Lady Brett Ashley, an upper-class, promiscuous divorcee, from the parties of Paris, a civilization spiritually bankrupted and torn apart by the Great War, to the brutal bullfight rings in Pamplona, a place where faith has yet to lose its value. A masterly exploration of love, death, and the fragility of masculinity after a major war, this is the novel that helped establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers in the world.
