The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises, first major novel by Ernest Hemingway, was published in 1926. Titled Fiesta in England, the novel follows a group of young American and British expatriates as they wander through Europe in the mid-1920s. They are all members of the cynical and disillusioned Lost Generation, who came of age during World War I (1914-18). The novel captures the moods, feelings, and attitudes of this hard-drinking, fast-living group of disillusioned expatriates in postwar France and Spain.
