I have just finished reading a gripping novel which is set in Paris during the 1st World War, 1926. It is written by the American author Ernest Hemingway about a group of British and American expatriates. They spend their time travelling from paris to Pamplona to attend the Festival of San Fermin to watch the bullfights and have a taste of the cultural event; explosion of feast, party and alcohol through the streets.
The protagonist of this novel, an impotent young man - Jake Barnes - falls in love with a divorced woman - Lady Brett Ashley. This is the surface of the novel. Hemingway expresses particular themes of love, death and nature in this interesting novel.
I recommend this book to those of you who enjoy reading impersonal literature and love stories.
