About the Book: Ernest Hemingway’s classic, The Sun Also Rises, is a powerful portrait of the “Lost Generation.” The story follows American journalist Jake Barnes, a war veteran, and his independent companion, Lady Brett Ashley, as they and their circle of disillusioned friends drift through 1920s Paris and Spain. Told in Hemingway’s signature spare and impactful prose, the novel is a story of love, longing, and a post-war generation’s search for meaning and connection.
