The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway Book Summary

Originally published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.​

A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

“The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be, and feel, lost.” —The Wall Street Journal

Inquisitive. His journeys throughout this novel are described in beautiful detail. You get the sense you are apart of his experience and relationships.

I Mean... It's OK. I wouldn't say I regret reading this book.... but I want my life back! It's an important work of literature, so I think it is an important book to read. I was so disappointed in the story. Hemingway over explained things you didn't care about, added in details that had no relevance to the story, but he didn't explain things you want to have explained (Jake's accident, Brett and the bull fighter, etc.) I am sure those were intentional choices, but it made me more frustrated than anything. Reading that book was like running a marathon. I wanted to finish and I kept pushing, but it just kept dragging on. Glad I read it, would never read it again.

Hemingway's best work. This book is so well written on top of an amazing story. If u haven't read it, get it NOW.

Overrated. The book lacks structure, there was no plot to keep the reader interested, just elaborate description of crowd dynamics, bull fights and landscape, the worst book I've ever read and quite frankly a waste of my time.

Everything but the margins. The content is top-notch, of course. The margins on the block quotes were poorly implemented, though, causing the telegrams to appear overly narrow on the iPhone.

Very mediocre book. Certainly not a must-read classic.

A+. I read this in high school (10 years ago). I will be reading more from Hemingway.

Really bad. Worst book I've ever read, all they do is get drunk

Horrible. I really don't know what all the fuss is over this book. It was boring, and seemed to have no plot other than "drink, go eat, drink, argue with other writers, drink, mess around with loose women." A total waste of time.

The Sun Also Rises. Perhaps, Hemingway's best work, The Sun Also Rises give you a feel for the 1920s from a different perspective.

A great place to revisit. I first read TSAR when I was barely a teenager many years ago. How I have changed and how the book seemed to change in those years is quite remarkable. This time around I was stunned by its remarkable simplicity. So direct - so matter of fact and then ...without seemingly intending to do so...touches quietly and deeply. The last line is one that churns and one I always remember. Do read this. Thank you Mr. Hemingway

Great story; adequate eBook edition. FIVE stars for the story. TWO stars for the eBook edition. I'm not going to review the content of The Sun Also Rises. The value of the story and it's prose has been thoroughly established elsewhere. This eBook edition is merely adequate, although I doubt there's a better one out there. Publishers have yet to figure out that it's not enough to scan in the book as is. I don't need extra blank pages; they add nothing. It would be fantastic to have a relevant dictionary, for example when I highlight poule, I want to see that's French slang for prostitute, not that there's no definition in the base dictionary. Publishers need to get on the ball and make fresh, definitive eBook editions. This edition isn't that, but it does provide a largely error free, clean reading experience.

Not the most engaging work. Not my favorite of Hemingway’s works. It feels flat and seems to lack emotion.

Quality issue. This version does not even include the epigraphs from gertrude stein and ecclesiastes that position the novel thematically! A real shame...I won't teach the ebook until the publisher can be more responsible. Too bad.
