The Sun Also Rises

"The story of expatriate Americans and British in Paris between the wars. Talented and cynical, left without illusions by a war that killed many of their contemporaries, they suffered a failure of purpose that Gertrude Stein identified and named "The lost generation." Jake Barnes is a tragic hero, damaged beyond repair in the war. He has the bad luck to meet and fall in love with Brett Ashley, a beautiful young Englishwoman. Worse, she finds in Jake everything she ever wanted but now cannot have. It is a hopeless and compelling relationship, told without affectation or sentiment by a young author just reaching the height of his powers"--Container.

  • "A wealthy group of English and American ex-patriates in post-World War I Europe move from the boulevards of Paris to the bullfights of Spain. The disillusioned characters reflect the war-weary "lost generation" of the 1920s. Some strong language."
  • "Jake, a war hero damaged beyond repair, falls in love with Brett, who finds in him everything she has ever wanted but now cannot have in this hopeless and compelling relationship."

  • "A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the story introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable character: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. Follow the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920's Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love and vanishing illusions."
