The Sun Also Rises is a well-known example of Hemingway's straightforward but effective writing. The Hemingway family, along with enlightening supplemental material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library, deliver Hemingway's classic tale of the Lost Generation in this celebration of the art and craft of the author. Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, two of Hemingway's most iconic characters, are introduced in this work, which takes a moving look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I age. The plot follows the flamboyant Brett and the foolish Jake as they travel with a ragtag gang of foreigners from the raucous nightlife of 1920s Paris to the bloody bullrings of Spain. It is a time of moral decay, spiritual decay, unfulfilled love, and dissipating illusions.
