The Sun Also Rises Ernest Hemingway

The Sun Also Rises  Ernest Hemingway Publication: Everyman’s Library Hardcover ISBN: 9781841594057 Ernest Hemingway’s iconic first novel, published in 1926, captures the disillusionment of the Lost Generation in the years after the First World War, moving from the cafés and nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain.

The Sun Also Rises is both a tragic love story and a sharp portrait of restless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and drifting through post-war Europe in search of meaning. At its centre is Jake Barnes, a war-wounded journalist, whose injury leaves him emotionally and physically cut off from the woman he loves, the magnetic and self-destructive Lady Brett Ashley. When Jake, Brett, and their circle of friends travel to Pamplona for the annual running of the bulls, rivalries, jealousies, and unspoken desires intensify, building toward a devastating climax.

Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, Hemingway exerted a profound influence on modern English fiction. His spare, disciplined prose—terse, powerful, and suggestive rather than explicit—reaches one of its finest expressions in this modernist masterpiece.
