The Sun Also Rises
by Ernest Hemingway
Offering a poignant look at the frustrations and aspirations of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most memorable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the brilliant Brett and the failed Jake as they travel from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal rings of bullfighting with a colorful group of immigrants from Spain. This is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unfulfilled love, and lost illusions.
