Selected Works of Hemingway: the Sun Also Rises
About This Novel
Jack Barnes, an American young man, was seriously injured in World War I and lost his sexual ability. He fell in love with the beautiful woman Brett Ashley. However, because Ashley could not accept a marriage without sex, Barnes could only helplessly let her become someone else's fiancée, and even arranged for her to have trysts with other men. The two went to Spain to watch a bullfight with several friends. Brett Ashley fell in love with the young bullfighter Romero at first sight, but when Romero proposed to her, she resolutely rejected him. The age gap made her "not want to be a bad woman who ruins the future of young people." Eventually, she returned to Barnes, but both parties knew that they could never truly be together. "The Sun Also Rises" was first published in 1926. It is Hemingway's first novel. It condenses and brings together the young Hemingway's own thoughts, emotions, reason, pain and his glimpse of the future. It is an in-depth extension of Hemingway's own life experience and philosophical thinking. After the publication of the novel, the term "lost generation" spread immediately and spread more and more widely, and then evolved into a conceptual literary term - it not only represents the main creative tendency of the young generation of writers after the war, but also became a marker to refer to the thoughts and emotions of this generation.
