Ernest Hemingway's Breakout Novel
With the publication of The Sun Also Rises in 1926, Ernest Hemingway became a literary superstar. Hemingway's first novel gives readers an inside look of what life was like among "the Lost Generation" who struggled to find themselves while living in the fallout of the first World War. We sit right alongside American and British expatriates as they frequent Parisian cafes and bars, fish in the Pyrenees and experience the bull fights and fiesta in Pamplona, Spain.
Jake Barnes, Robert Cohn, Lady Brett Ashely and others; Hemingway's novel introduces us to some of American Literature's most enduring characters. Considered by many as his finest work and greatest novel, we are pleased to publish a new edition of this early modernist classic.
