The Sun Also Rises is both a tragic love story and a searing group
portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and
chasing their illusions in post-World War I Europe. The man at its
centre, world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, is burdened both by a
wound acquired in the war and by his utterly hopeless love for the
extravagantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. When Jake, Brett and
their friends leave Paris behind and converge in Pamplona for the
annual festival of the running of the bulls, tensions among the
various rivals for Brett's wayward affections build to a
devastating climax. Hemingway, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1954, has exerted a lasting influence on fiction in
English. His signature prose style, tersely powerful and concealing
more than it reveals, arguably reached its apex in this modernist
masterpiece.
