Ernest Hemingway 
The sun also rises 

Largely autobiographical, the novel tells the story of a cosmopolitan group of young expatriates, with their stormy existential and sentimental anxieties. Between sleepless nights spent discussing and getting drunk, in the cafés of Montparnasse or in the arenas of Pamplona, ​​the protagonists seek stronger emotions, which stun them and drive away the sense of impending nothingness. Published in 1926, The sun also rises consecrated its twenty-seven-year-old author among the most important American writers of the "lost generation" thanks to the dry and essential style with which he manages to bare the soul of his characters and to give them life.
