| Summary |
"The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway is a novel written in the late 1920s. The book explores the lives of a group of American and British expatriates in Europe after World War I, focusing on their disillusionment and aimlessness. The central character, Jake Barnes, narrates the story, primarily revolving around his unrequited love for Lady Brett Ashley and the complex relationships within their circle of friends. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Robert Cohn, an insecure Jewish man who attended Princeton and became its middleweight boxing champion, despite disliking the sport. The narrative reveals Cohn's feelings of alienation and his subsequent divorce, which leads him to California and then to Europe, where he becomes involved with Brett Ashley, a beautiful and enigmatic woman. The opening chapter sets the stage for Cohn's struggles with his identity and relationships, hinting at the broader themes of love, loss, and the quest for meaning that permeate the rest of the story. The tone is both introspective and critical, capturing the essence of the so-called "Lost Generation." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
