His first major novel explores powerful themes like masculinity and male insecurity, sex and love, and the effects of a brutal war on an aimless generation. This \u003ci\u003eroman à clef \u003c\/i\u003eis based on the real experiences and relationships Hemingway had in the early 1920s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet predominantly in France and Spain, the novel follows a group of disillusioned aimless expats tooling around post-war Europe, living hard, drinking heavily, and having complicated sordid love affairs. The novel is told from the perspective of Jake Barnes, a World War I vet turned journalist living in Paris, who is still in love with his former flame, the eccentric and charismatic Lady Brett Ashley. Meanwhile, Jake's friend, author Robert Cohn, becomes tired of his oppressive marriage and sets off to seek out adventure, becoming enamored with Brett himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey all eventually drift from the glitz and glamour of 1920s Paris to Pamplona, Spain, where they revel in the rawness of bullfights and alcohol-fueled parties, eventually devolving into jealousy and violent drama. This leads to Jake coming to a stark realization--that he can never be with the woman he truly loves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernest Hemingway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949846466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949846461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clydesdale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e68837 \/ Sun Also Rises\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ernest Hemingway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175483715839,"sku":"9781949846461","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_934b2e70-37d7-4bf8-bfe9-edd80bc5471a.jpg?v=1771334024","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sun-also-rises-ernest-hemingway-9781949846461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
