Description
A STORY OF RESTLESSNESS AND BELONGING • Hemingway’s unforgettable portrait of love, war, and disillusionment in postwar Europe.
Jake Barnes is an American journalist living in Paris. Wounded in war, he is caught between his love for Lady Brett Ashley and the impossibility of their union. Together with a group of friends—expatriates adrift in the aftermath of World War I—Jake travels from the cafés of Paris to the bullrings of Spain, seeking passion, meaning, and escape. What they find instead is disillusionment, betrayal, and the restless search for freedom.
First published in 1926, Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises became a landmark of twentieth-century literature. With its spare prose and understated style, it captured the rhythms of a generation scarred by war and hungry for experience. The novel introduced readers to Hemingway’s “iceberg theory” of writing—where what is unsaid carries as much weight as what is spoken—and its influence on modern fiction has been immense. “You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another,” Jake reflects, in a line that still speaks to the restlessness of youth and identity.
This Feel Classics edition makes Hemingway’s masterpiece accessible to today’s readers. With a thoughtful introduction, explanatory notes, glossary, and a detailed chronology of his life, it is ideal for students, first-time readers, and literature enthusiasts alike.
A timeless classic that still speaks to anyone searching for love, meaning, and a place in a changing world.
