The Sun Also Rises

by Ernest Hemingway

Overview

Ernest Hemingway's classic novel of the Lost Generation.

The Sun Also Rises tells the story of Jake Barnes, a wounded veteran working as a journalist in Paris in the aftermath of World War I. Surrounded by American and British expatriate friends and acquaintances, Jake tries to find meaning and purpose in a world filled with disillusionment and chaos. Jake and his friends journey from the raucous 1920s Paris nightlife, to the calming fishing rivers of the Basque country, to the chaos of the running of the bulls in Pamplona where Jake learns an important lesson about the consequences of actions that can't be undone.

At once a poignant love story and a meditation on life, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces.

About the Author

The preeminent American novelist and short story writer of his time, Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) wrote provocative fiction steeped in the experiences of the "lost generation" that came of age during World War I. Hemingway's four best-known books — The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea — highlight the author's trademark economy of style while depicting lives shaped by futility, frustration, and disappointment. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
