The sun also rises / Ernest Hemingway. Scribner trade pbk. ed. New York, N.Y. : Scribner, 1926. ©2006. 251 p. ; 21 cm. Jake Barnes, like most of the characters, is a veteran of World War I. A very unfortunate wound left physical love a complete impossibility for him, and thus he is left gnashing his teeth watching the woman he loves run around with all sorts of men. The Jewish Robert Cohn, who learned boxing in college in order to conquer his feelings of inferiority, happens to become smitten with her as well. Somehow, they and some of their friends and acquaintances end up going to Spain to experience the Fiesta, and while their experience starts the same giddy, frenzied, hedonistic way as for most people, it ends quite differently, when the book's darker undercurrents come to light. Insert scenes of cafe life, fishing, reminiscences, conversations with friends, watching the bullfights, some absolutely brutal humor, and lots and lots of liquor, and you've got yourself Hemingway's first masterpiece. Adult. Americans France. Expatriation Fiction. Ashley, Brett (Fictitious character) Fiction. Spain History Alfonso XIII, 1886-1931. ROMANCE FICTION.
