The Sun Also Rises
Ernest Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises' is a poignant exploration of the Lost Generation, following American and British expatriates navigating post-World War I Europe. Through the eyes of the disillusioned narrator, Jake Barnes, the novel delves into themes of love, masculinity, existentialism, and the quest for meaning in a broken world. The characters' aimless pursuit of pleasure, particularly through the backdrop of the Pamplona bull-running festival, reflects their deeper sense of aimlessness and alienation. Hemingway's sparse yet evocative prose captures the emotional turmoil and moral ambiguity of the era, making this novel a timeless classic.
