The Sun Still Rises
About This Novel
The novel is set in the historical period from 1924 to 1925 and in the famous city of Paris. It tells the story of an American young man, Jack Barnes, who 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. As a result, Hemingway became the spokesperson of the "Lost Generation" and created a unique Hemingway style of writing with this book.
