This new Hemingway Library Edition celebrates Hemingway's classic novel with a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, the author's sole surviving son, and a new introduction by Sean Hemingway, grandson of the author.
First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is "an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative.a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose" ( The New York Times). It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises is a classic example of Hemingway's spare but powerful writing style.
This new edition of The Sun Also Rises celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway's quintessential story of the Lost Generation-presented by the Hemingway family with illuminating supplementary material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. "The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be, and feel, lost." -Tara Isabella Burton, The Wall Street Journal Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
