The Sun Also Rises, written by Ernest Hemingway and first published in 1926, is widely considered to be one of the greatest American novels of the 20th century. Set in the aftermath of World War I, it follows a group of expatriate Americans and British as they travel from Paris to Pamplona, Spain, to witness the running of the bulls.
The novel explores themes of disillusionment, love, masculinity, and the search for meaning in a post-war world. Hemingway's sparse, direct prose captures the disillusionment and aimlessness of the Lost Generation, a term he coined to describe the generation of young people who came of age during World War I and struggled to find their place in the world after the war's end.
At the heart of the novel is the complicated relationship between the protagonist, Jake Barnes, a war veteran who has been rendered impotent by a war injury, and Lady Brett Ashley, a beautiful, independent woman with whom he is hopelessly in love. Their relationship is complicated by the presence of Robert Cohn, an aspiring writer and former boxer who is also in love with Brett.
The Sun Also Rises is not only a novel about love and the search for identity, but also a vivid portrait of a specific time and place. Hemingway's descriptions of Paris, Pamplona, and the Spanish countryside bring these places to life and add depth and richness to the characters' experiences.
With its spare prose, evocative settings, and memorable characters, The Sun Also Rises is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers nearly a century after its publication.
