The Sun Also Rises  (Paperback, Ernest Hemingway)

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway chronicles the temperaments and lifestyles of young, hard-drinking English and American expatriates on an expedition to Spain. Jake, with his friends, travels from the 1920s nightlife of Paris to Spain to witness the festival of San Fermina in Pamplona. Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, two of Hemingway’s most iconic characters, are introduced in this novel. Jake goes haywire in Lady Brett’s love, but fate has different plans for their communion. The group explores a frivolous lifestyle in Paris and Spain, in tune with the avant-garde spirit of the Lost Generation of early twentieth-century America, twinged with the existential disillusionment of a post war world. As the story wanderingly unfolds, both demographically and sensually, the characters discover truths about themselves, physical intimacy and relationships. The novel is known by the alternative title Fiesta in England.
