The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway,
that portrays 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. 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, particularly Hemingway's life in Paris in the 1920s and a
trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the
Pyrenees. The Sun Also Rises established Hemingway as one of the
greatest writers of the twentieth century.
