The Sun Also Rises

The most popular of Ernest Hemingway’s books, The Sun Also Rises is an elegant showcase for Hemingway’s powerful prose, memorable characters, and biting social commentary on love and society post WWI. The New York Times called it “An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative…”

Following American and British expatriates from the lights of Paris to the bloody bullfights of Pamplona, The Sun Also Rises tells the haunting story of Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, inextricably in love with each other despite Jake’s devastating war wounds and Brett’s entanglements with a bankrupt English noble and a flamboyant Spanish bullfighter. Published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises captured the moral and spiritual decay endemic to Europe in the post-war period, and the resiliency that allowed the Lost Generation to rebuild their lives.
