The Sun Also Rises Summary

The Sun Also Rises is the first major novel by Ernest Hemingway. Published in 1926, the plot centers on a group of expatriate Americans in Europe during the 1920s. The book's title, selected by Hemingway (at the recommendation of his publisher) is taken from Ecclesiastes 1:5: "the sun also ariseth." Hemingway's original title for the work was Fiesta, which was used in the UK, German and Spanish editions of the novel.

Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
