Lit Spirits Book Club: Hemingway Series, "The Sun Also Rises"✨️

The cooler weather is upon us, meaning more snuggled-in, early evenings - that beg for a cup of tea and a book in hand, cuddled into the corner of that cozy couch!🍵📖🛋✨️

Jump into this journey where I get to re-read some of my favorites, and others, for the first time. My goal is to read most, if not all, of the classic literature by one author at a time, moving from easiest to most challenging!

Plot Summary:

"The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises (Fiesta) is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces 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. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century."
