Sun Also Rises

<b>The debut novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author that is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking dancing and chasing their dreams in postwar Europe. <p/>An absorbingly beautiful and tenderly absurd heart-breaking narrative ... It is a truly gripping story. --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/> </b>Ernest Hemingway winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954 exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English through his economical prose style that conceals more than it reveals. His first novel published in 1926 is narrated by world-weary journalist Jake Barnes who is burdened by a wound acquired in World War I and by his utterly hopeless love for the flamboyantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. <i>The Sun Also Rises </i>tracks the Lost Generation of the 1920s from the nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain.
