The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway's first novel and still stands as a classic in American literature. Published in 1926, it revolves around a group of British and American expatriates living in Paris who travel to Pamplona, Spain for the annual running of the bulls, and it is wrapped around the love story between main character and narrator Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises captures the spirit of the so-called Lost Generation who came of age during World War I.
