Summary

This is a story of expatriate Americans and British living in Paris following the First World War. Talented yet cynical, left without illusions by a war that killed many of their contemporaries, they suffered from a failure of purpose and came to be known collectively as "The Lost Generation." Jake Barnes is the tragic hero, damaged beyond repair in the war. He has the bad luck to meet and fall in love with Brett Ashley, a beautiful young Englishwoman. Worse, she finds in Jake everything she ever wanted but now cannot have. It is a hopeless and compelling relationship, told without affectation or sentiment by a young author just reaching the height of his powers.
