Ernest Hemingway
The Sun Also Rises
Summary
A veteran of the Great War, Jake Barnes is both physically and emotionally wounded, leaving him unable to be intimate. Even so, he pines after Lady Brett Ashley, a promiscuous twice-divorced woman. As feelings are hurt and punches are thrown, their lives and the lives of their friends and lovers become tangled as they journey from Paris to Spain and struggle with the repercussions that come from surviving the First World War. Sometimes referred to as his greatest work, The Sun Also Rises chronicles real people and events in Ernest Hemingway's life in a way that captures the resilience of his generation and that is emblematic of the style for which he is so well known.
