Title, Author and Publication
The Sun Also Rises was written by Ernest Hemingway. Published by Charles Scribner & Sons of New York, it first appeared in 1926.
Setting
Hemingway's classic novel, The Sun Also Rises is set in the Europe of the 1920s. The story takes place in Paris' fashionable Left Bank and in Pamplona and Madrid, Spain. The era in which the novel is set is one of expatriate artists and decadent living. Contemporary to F. Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby, Hemingway deals with many of the same themes arising for this generation.
Characters
Jake Barnes: the narrator and protagonist of the novel. Jake is a WWI veteran who has been rendered impotent by a war injury. He is gravely disillusioned and seeks to redefine himself through the drinking and debauchery of the expatriate experience.Lady Brett Ashley: a wealthy, promiscuous and seemingly independent woman. Brett is the love interest of most of the male characters in the novel. She is representative of the post war's "lost generation"; through indulgence and decadence she seeks but does not find authentic connections with the men who love her.Robert Cohn: a Jewish American expatriate who falls obsessively in love with Brett. Cohn is the object of much scorn from the other male characters in the novel as much for his lack of war experience as for his religion.
Plot
The Sun Also Rises follows Jake Barnes and his compatriots as they travel from Paris to Pamplona to Madrid. Their journey acts as an allegory for their personal quests to rediscover themselves in the aftermath of WWI. Each of the characters seeks a means to happiness through drinking and sensory fulfillment, but each of them finds that path to be filled with violence and cynicism.
