Hemingway explores the aimless, heavy drinking, and dramatic lives of Jake, Brett, and their friends as a means to reflect the Lost Generation as a whole. As they drift through their lives in postwar Paris, they find themselves on a trip with some friends to Spain to witness the Festival of San Fermin, a week-long bacchanal whose highlight is bullfighting. A wound sustained during the war has left him unable to have sex, and that drives a wedge between him and the woman he loves: Brett Ashley, a twice-divorcée who has embraced the sexual freedom and independence of the age. The novel follows Jake Barnes, an American expat living in the Parisian café society of the roaring 20s. The Sun Also Rises was Ernest Hemingwayâs first published novel, and the novel that introduced the term âLost Generationâ to describe the generation that came to adulthood during World War I.
