The Sun Also Rises
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway follows a group of American and British expatriates traveling from Paris to Spain in the 1920s. The novel is narrated by Jake Barnes, a war veteran grappling with an injury that has left him impotent. He is deeply in love with Lady Brett Ashley, a beautiful and charismatic woman who struggles with her own desires and relationships. Their journey takes them to Pamplona for the running of the bulls, where tensions rise among their friends, particularly over Brett’s many suitors. The story explores themes of love, masculinity, disillusionment, and the lost generation’s search for meaning in a post-war world. Hemingway’s minimalist prose captures the beauty and emptiness of their wandering lives.
