It's clear that Hemingway sees bullfighting as a metaphor for manliness. They take part in the annual running of the bulls and are daily spectators at the bull fights. The main action in the book is the result of a love triangle around Brett that plays out on a trip to Pamplona, Spain where the group goes to take part in the Fiesta de San Fermin. The English Lady Brett Ashley proclaims her love for Jake but given his inability to have sex they both realize theyвЂ™ll never be more than confidants and close friends. He is surrounded by a group of friends, American and British. The story is told through the eyes of Jake Barnes, an American news reporter in Paris whose war wounds have left him impotent. More recently the book has been criticized for the antisemitism and bigotry of its characters - the derogatory language used about the Jewish character Robert Cohn, and the use of both the N word (repeatedly) and the F word - as well as its realistic depiction of bull fighting. In fact, The Sun Also Rises was considered scandalous by many when published, including HemingwayвЂ™s own mother, who reportedly wrote to the author that his was вЂњone of the filthiest books of the yearвЂќ, and that вЂњevery page fills me with sick loathing.вЂќД«ack then the scandal about the book had to do with its use of swear words and its depiction of вЂњloose moralsвЂќ in the relationships between the male and female characters. Many like those in this book stayed behind in Europe and indulged themselves in lives that would have provoked scandal back home.

These were war wounded souls for whom lifeвЂ™s peacetime events seemed insignificant. Published in 1926, between the end of World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression, it captured the mood of the вЂњLost GenerationвЂќ.

It was an instant bestseller and is today considered probably вЂњtheвЂќ book of his generation. The debut novel by Ernest Hemingway is arguably the best book he ever wrote.
