The Sun Still Rises

"Different youth, the same confusion. However, youth will grow and confusion will dissipate. After the night, the sun still rises." Under various stimulations such as coffee, alcohol, sex, and actively choosing to perish, is it a product of the times or a choice of fate? Jack Barnes is a representative of the generation that was traumatized by the war. It is a particularly fragile and easily broken group. Under the reasonable reason of war trauma, everything they followed in the past fell apart, and they formed a set of norms that are easy to accept and mutually recognized. Mrs. Ashley ~ a female Neptune who wants and wants, marriage, love and sex, freedom, independence and dependence. She relies on men financially, lacks spiritual security and must take control of all initiatives. Cohen, the educated middle class who is incompatible with the generation traumatized by the war, is also confused. He is either abandoned by women or controlled by women. Romero ~ The unbeatable bullfighter is like the bullock in the pen who wants to get along with the bull but is isolated. Refuse to have your destiny manipulated by others. You can knock me down, but you will never defeat me. If you knock me down, my body will fall, but you will never defeat my heart. The clouds above the ground stood like mountains at this time, and only a long green line was left on the coast, with some gray-green hills behind it. The sea water was now blue, so deep that it was almost purple. You run from one place to another, but you are still you. You can't escape from your body. It's easy to be emotionless during the day, but it's a different story at night. People who love each other should not quarrel. Because there are only two of them, and the whole world is against them. As soon as they are separated, the world conquers them. I spend a lot of money on the things I love so I can be happy.

Mrs. Ashley is a passionate, beautiful, and fascinating woman, and it is precisely because of her character that led to her experience like this. If he had been with Jack from the beginning, then maybe she would not have this fascinating character. Jack also has his own charm. If he hadn't met Brett, although he was "hurt", I believe he would be fine. Even after he fell in love with her, he didn't force it even if he wanted to. But fortunately, Brett came back to him in the end. It's good.

The plot of this book is very attractive, especially the complicated emotional entanglement between the protagonists, Barnes and Mrs. Ashley, which moved me very much. I like Hemingway's way of describing, he shows the inner world of the characters very delicately. Moreover, the story backgrounds in the book are also very unique, such as the Spanish bullfighting festival, which makes people feel as if they are actually there. Overall, this is a book well worth reading.

Nice spiritual journey Yes, this is life, without accessories and exaggerated details
