The Sun Also Rises was Ernest Hemingway's first big novel, & immediately established Hemingway as one of the great prose stylists, & one of the pre-eminent writers of his time. It is also the book that encapsulates the angst of the post-World War I generation, known as the Lost Generation. This poignantly beautiful story of a group of American & English expatriates in Paris on an excursion to Pamplona represents a dramatic step forward for Hemingway's evolving style. Featuring Left Bank Paris in the 1920s & brutally realistic descriptions of bullfighting in Spain, the story is about the flamboyant Lady Brett Ashley & the hapless Jake Barnes. In an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, & vanishing illusions, this is the Lost Generation. Read by William Hurt
