Summary
Ernest Hemingway: The Sun Is Born Again
Paris, 1920s. Jake Barnes, an American journalist, meets again the beautiful and capricious Lady Ashley, lost in a frenetic search for lovers. We follow them as they get drunk in Parisian bars, Spanish arenas and idyllic Pyrenean forests. Their companions, Robert Cohn and Michael Campbell, are also men left to the elements, forever marked by the First World War. With a crystal clear style, terrifyingly effective, Hemingway paints the Paris of the artist in the interwar period and the famous San Fermin celebration. His heroes, who constantly hesitate whether to surrender to the storm of existential restlessness or the exhilaration of enjoying the moment, have become symbols of the generation that Gertrude Stein called "lost", but they are no less alive and moving even a century later.
