1.Introduction
Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises" is a captivating play that encapsulates the post-World War I disillusionment felt by the "Lost Generation." Published in 1926, this novel explores themes of love, masculinity, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Through vivid descriptions and realistic dialogue, Hemingway offers a poignant portrayal of a group of expatriates grappling with their personal demons against the backdrop of 1920s Europe.

Renowned literary critic Malcolm Cowley described "The Sun Also Rises" as "a novel of extraordinary power and depth, capturing the spirit of a generation lost in the aftermath of war."
