 | The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
Jake Barnes has suffered a mysterious wound in the first World War that has left him impotent. Hopelessly in love with the seductive and flamboyant Lady Brett Ashley, he accompanies Lady Brett, her drunken fiance, and an American boxer to Pamplona and watches helplessly as she falls for a young bullfighter. Hemingway's first major novel is the classic novel of the lost generation, a vivid exploration of the moral wasteland of Europe in the Twenties and the sterility and despair of postwar life. It is also the novel in which he found his distinctive spare, lyrical voice. AUTHOR: Ernest Hemingway
