The sun also rises

First published in 1926, Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises is a landmark of modernist literature. Set in the aftermath of World War I, the novel follows a group of expatriates as they travel from Paris to Pamplona, Spain, seeking meaning, love, and distraction amid the disillusionment of the “Lost Generation.” Hemingway’s spare prose and piercing insight capture the aimlessness of a generation and the fleeting intensity of life. The Sun Also Rises established Hemingway as a defining voice of his era and remains one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century.
