      The blurb on the back of my edition states "This is...the book that encapsulates the angst of the post-World War I generation, known as the Lost Generation." In fact, every character in the book, from the impotent protagonist Barnes to the self-destructive femme fatale Brett, is lost in his or her own way. This is set against the backdrop of cosmopolitan joi de vivre (in France) and decadent hedonism (in Spain).

Book Description

The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s 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. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century
