Published in 1926, as Hemingway's first full-length novel, The Sun Also Rises presented the unfortunate fate of some youth roving in Europe after the First World War. The novel was based on the love story of a US journalist Jack Barnes and a British girl Brett Ashley. Jack was injured in the First World War, and lost his sexuality. Brett also lost her family members in the war. However, they could not marry although falling in love. Another suitor of Brett was a US writer Robert Cohn, who was pedantry and fantastic in mentality, with still romantic fantasy for life. The novel reflected physical and psychological traumas of the youth due to the war. Once, the pioneer US Mrs. Stein said to Hemingway: "e;You all belong the lost generation"e;. Then Hemingway took this sentence as the inscription of this book. Therefore, The Sun Also Rises became the representative work of the "e;lost generation"e; series.
