The Sun Also Rises

Autor: Ernest Hemingway

Žánr: Cizojazyčná literatura > English literature > Fiction and Literature > Classics

In the dazzling lights of 1920s Paris, falling in love comes easily. Two American expatriates, the promiscuous Lady Brett Ashley and the naive Jake Barnes, meet, beginning an all-consuming love affair. In the Spanish city of Pamplona, with its invigorating bullfights and gaudy matadors, their passion reaches a fleeting peak. Unable to overcome their differences, the two lovers must eventually come to terms with the fact that their fling is as temporary as the fiesta. The Sun Also Rises was Hemingway's first novel and one of his best. Beautifully told, this heart-rending story is the quintessential novel of interwar Europe.
