Why The Sun Also Rises is a Must-Read. #shorts #review #TheSunAlsoRises #ernesthemingway
"The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway, published in 1926, is a novel that captures the disillusionment and moral disarray of the "Lost Generation" in the aftermath of World War I. The story is narrated by Jake Barnes, an American expatriate living in Paris, and follows a group of friends, including Lady Brett Ashley, Robert Cohn, and Mike Campbell, as they embark on a journey to Pamplona, Spain, to witness the running of the bulls.
The novel explores themes of aimlessness, the futility of traditional values, and the impact of war on the psyche. Jake, the protagonist, is impotent due to a war injury, which is emblematic of the emasculation and impotence experienced by his generation.
The characters engage in a hedonistic and nihilistic pursuit of pleasure and fulfillment, often through excessive drinking and partying. Their escapades in Spain reflect a desire to escape their feelings of aimlessness and the profound sense of loss that pervades their lives.
Hemingway's writing is characterized by its sparse and economical style, known as the "Iceberg Theory," where much of the story's depth and meaning lies beneath the surface.
"The Sun Also Rises" is a reflection of the disillusionment and moral crisis that marked the post-war generation, and it continues to be celebrated for its portrayal of the disenchanted and lost spirit of the time. The novel captures the era's sense of being adrift in a world transformed by the horrors of war and the loss of traditional values.
