This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A landmark of modern American literature, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s powerful and enduring tale of love, loss, and disillusionment in the aftermath of World War I. First published in 1926, this novel introduced the world to Hemingway’s distinct, minimalist prose and his iconic portrayal of the “Lost Generation.” The story follows Jake Barnes, an American journalist living in Paris, and a circle of expatriate friends as they navigate the bohemian nightlife of 1920s Europe. Fueled by alcohol, restlessness, and romantic entanglements—especially Jake’s complicated relationship with the alluring Lady Brett Ashley—the group travels from Paris to the bullfighting rings of Pamplona, searching for meaning in a world forever changed by war. With its themes of aimlessness, wounded masculinity, and the fragility of human connection, The Sun Also Rises captures the spiritual emptiness and emotional scars left behind by conflict. Hemingway’s crisp dialogue and vivid settings bring the Jazz Age to life, offering both a dazzling travelogue and a sobering exploration of postwar identity. A must-listen for lovers of classic literature, The Sun Also Rises is a poignant and unforgettable portrait of a generation trying to find its way in a broken world.
