Left injured after World War I, Jake Barnes struggles with disillusionment and inadequacy, especially regarding his relationship with the promiscuous Lady Brett Ashley, who cannot commit to him. From Paris to Pamplona, Jake and his expatriate companions search for purpose, but lose themselves in drink and debauchery. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises epitomizes Ernest Hemingway’s signature sparse writing style, conveying a timeless story about the Lost Generation.
