Which author wrote "The Sun Also Rises"?

Ernest Hemingway wrote “The Sun Also Rises.” Published in 1926, it was Hemingway’s first full novel and follows American and British expatriates traveling from Paris to Spain for the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona.

The novel centers on Jake Barnes, a journalist whose unfulfilled love for Lady Brett Ashley is shaped by the damage of the First World War. Their circle embodies the “Lost Generation,” a term associated with writers and artists whose lives were transformed by the war and its aftermath. Hemingway explores love, masculinity, death, resilience, and the search for meaning.

The book is based partly on Hemingway’s own experiences in Paris and on a 1925 trip to Spain. Its original working title was “Fiesta,” which became the British publication title. The final title comes from Ecclesiastes and reflects the novel’s contrast between recurring natural cycles and wounded human lives.
