The Sun Also Rises is a novel by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1926. It follows a group of American and British expatriates in the post-World War I era as they travel from Paris to Spain. The story is narrated by Jake Barnes, a journalist who, along with his companions, navigates a world of emotional and physical trauma. The novel explores themes of disillusionment, love, and identity in the context of the so-called "Lost Generation"—those who came of age during the war and struggled to find meaning in a changed world. The Sun Also Rises is celebrated for its sparse, direct writing style, which became a hallmark of Hemingway’s work. It remains one of his most influential and widely-read novels.
