The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises (1926) is Ernest Hemingway's landmark debut novel. Set after World War I, it follows Jake Barnes, an American journalist rendered impotent by a war wound, and Lady Brett Ashley, a liberated English socialite, as they travel with a group of expatriates from Paris to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The story captures the disillusionment, moral aimlessness, and search for meaning among the post-war "Lost Generation."
