The Sun Also Rises (Primary source)
Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, is a seminal novel of the Lost Generation—a term used to describe the disillusioned youth who came of age during and after World War I. Set primarily in Paris and Spain during the 1920s, the novel follows a group of American and British expatriates as they grapple with themes of aimlessness, love, masculinity, and the search for meaning in a fractured postwar world.
