The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway s first novel, originally appeared in 1926 and, since then, has become a classic of modern American fiction. 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.
