THE SUN ALSO RISES

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway is a seminal novel that explores the lives of a group of expatriates living in post-World War I Europe. The story is narrated by Jake Barnes, an American journalist, and follows his circle of friends as they travel from Paris to Spain. Among them is Lady Brett Ashley, with whom Jake shares a complicated, unfulfilled love. The novel captures the disillusionment and aimlessness of the “Lost Generation” through themes of love, identity, and the search for meaning in a fractured world.

Hemingway’s signature sparse writing style and sharp dialogue make this novel a powerful reflection of the emotional and psychological impacts of war and the struggles of modern life. The Sun Also Rises remains one of Hemingway’s most celebrated works, offering a poignant look at friendship, desire, and the challenges of living in a post-war society.
