The Nobel Prize winner's masterpiece. The representative work of the "Lost Generation". It is regarded as the "Bible" of American youth.
I couldn't bear the thought that my life was slipping away so quickly and I wasn't really living it.

One generation passes away, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and goes down, and hurries back to the place where it rises.
——"The Bible. Old Testament. Ecclesiastes"
The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's first novel. Through it, the author became the spokesperson for the "Lost Generation" and created Hemingway's unique writing style.
American youth Barnes suffered a spinal injury in World War I and lost his sexual ability. After the war, he fell in love with British woman Mrs. Ashley while working as a reporter in Paris. Mrs. Ashley pursued pleasure blindly, while he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol. The two of them went to Pamplona, Spain with a group of male and female friends to participate in the bullfighting festival in pursuit of spiritual stimulation. Mrs. Ashley rejected the pursuit of Jewish youth Cohen, but fell in love with the 19-year-old bullfighter Romero. However, after a period of time, due to the age difference between the two and Mrs. Ashley could not bear to ruin the future of the pure young man, the relationship ended sadly. Mrs. Ashley finally returned to Barnes, although both knew that they could never be truly together...
