DESCRIPTION:
A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the story introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.. THE QUINTESSENTIAL NARRATIVE OF THE LOST GENERATIONThe Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful style. Follow th

But Life is about the little details and about the subtle nuances. About the cab, about the stories of the characters before and after and during the novels.

And oh, the fiesta at Pamplona and the drama that ensues! Hemingway's style of matter of fact, always moving narrative is genius and for me, much easier and enjoyable to read than those writers who feel they

Alcohol and post-World War I anomie fuel the plot: weary of drinking and dancing in Paris cafés, the expatriate gang decamps for the Spanish town of Pamplona for the "wonderful nightmare" of a week-long fiesta. Brett, the beautiful, doomed English woman he adores, provides the glamour of natural chic and sexual unattainability. But what's most shocking about the book is its lean, adjective-free style. Brett, with fiancé and ex-lover Cohn in tow, breaks hearts all around until she falls, briefly, for the handsome teenage bullfighter Pedro Romero. She wore a slipover jersey sweater and a tweed skirt, and her hair was brushed back like a boy's. The Sun Also Rises
