The story follows a band of disillusioned expatriates living a fast-paced, hard-drinking life in post-war France and Spain. Through Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, it takes a moving look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"764\"\u003eThe plot follows the brilliant Brett and the naive Jake as they travel with a ragtag gang of foreigners in a time of moral decay, spiritual decline, unfulfilled love, and dissipating illusions.

His publisher had it replaced with dashes but Hemingway painstakingly wrote out the rude words and presented a copy to James Joyce!
