The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's materpieces and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.

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.
