The Sun Also Rises

Does the human spirit ever truly break? Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" compels us to ponder this question. In the aftermath of World War I, a group of expatriates journey from Paris to Pamplona, Spain to watch the infamous running of the bulls. Hemingway, in his characteristic sparse prose, constructs a world where the Lost Generation battles disillusionment, unrequited love, and their own private demons. The characters' struggles with masculinity, identity, and the meaning of life are as poignant today as they were upon the book's release. "The Sun Also Rises" is a timeless exploration of resilience and the human capacity to find meaning amid chaos.
