First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is “an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative.a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose” ( The New York Times).Įrnest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway’s quintessential story of the Lost Generation.Ī poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises is a classic example of Hemingway’s spare but powerful writing style. One of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read “The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be, and feel, lost.” - The Wall Street Journal
