Summary

In 1920s Paris, a group of disillusioned expatriates pursues a life of utter debauchery: American veteran Jake Barnes lives under the cloud of an emasculating war injury; Lady Brett Ashley substitutes a life of promiscuity for the love she cannot share with Jake; Mike Campbell deliberately douses his passions with alcohol; Robert Cohn becomes more and more hopelessly obsessed with Brett; and Bill Gorton lives faster than his writing can entail. Each member of this "lost generation" clings to the bohemian lifestyle that Paris bars and Spanish bullrings offer-- living though they were about to die.
