The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel written by American author Ernest Hemingway, about a group of American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. An early and enduring modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. However, Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that it is now "recognized as Hemingway's greatest work",[2] and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel.[3] The novel was published in the United States in October 1926 by Scribner's. A year later, Jonathan Cape published the novel in London under the title Fiesta. It remains in print.Hemingway began writing the novel on his birthday—21 July—in 1925, and finished the draft manuscript barely two months later, in September. After setting aside the manuscript for a short period, he worked on revisions during the winter of 1926.The basis for the novel was Hemingway's trip to Spain in 1925. The setting was unique and memorable, depicting sordid café life in Paris and the excitement of the Pamplona festival, with a middle section devoted to descriptions of a fishing trip in the Pyrenees. Hemingway's sparse writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterizations and action, is demonstrative of his "Iceberg Theory" of writing.The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events. In the book, Hemingway presents his notion that the "Lost Generation"—considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I—was in fact resilient and strong.[4] Additionally, Hemingway investigates themes of love and death; the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity.

Excerpt from The Sun Also Rises There is, nevertheless, a genuine nai'veté in Heming way's work. He clearly prefers people who are either naive, or so direct in their desires and emotions as to break into naiveté under the slightest stress. To call him - as one critic has-the most sophisticated writer in English seems to me nonsense. To be skilful 13 not to be sophisticated. But this trait of naivete is closely related to the very raison d'étre of Hemingway and must be discussed much more broadly than if it were merely technique.
