Synopsis

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

The Sun Also Rises follows Jake Barnes, an American journalist in 1920s Paris, and his circle of expatriate friends, including the spirited Lady Brett Ashley. The group embarks on a journey to Pamplona, Spain, to witness the Festival of San Fermín, immersing themselves in the fervor of bullfighting and the running of the bulls. Amidst the festivities, complex romantic entanglements and personal conflicts arise, reflecting the disillusionment and aimlessness of the post-World War I "Lost Generation."

Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, is a seminal work that encapsulates the disillusionment and moral ambiguity of the post-World War I "Lost Generation." Through its portrayal of expatriates in 1920s Paris and Spain, the novel delves into themes of aimlessness, the search for meaning, and the complexities of love and masculinity. Hemingway's distinctive prose style, characterized by its economy and understatement, marked a significant departure from the literary norms of the time, influencing countless writers and solidifying his place in the American literary canon.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ernest Hemingway, born on July 21, 1899, in Oak Park, Illinois, was the second of six children in a family that valued the arts and the outdoors. He spent his youth enjoying summers in Northern Michigan, fostering a love for nature that would later influence his writing. After graduating from high school in 1917, Hemingway began his career as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, where he developed the concise and direct prose style that became his hallmark.In 1918, Hemingway volunteered as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross during World War I and was severely wounded on the Italian Front. This experience deeply shaped his worldview and writing. In 1921, he moved to Paris and joined the expatriate community of artists and writers, publishing his breakout novel, The Sun Also Rises (1926), which captured the disillusionment of the post-war generation. His later works, including A Farewell to Arms (1929) and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), cemented his reputation as a literary giant.Hemingway's adventurous life saw him covering wars as a journalist and drawing on these experiences for his stories. In 1952, he published The Old Man and the Sea, winning the Pulitzer Prize and earning the Nobel Prize in Literature the following year. Despite his professional acclaim, Hemingway struggled with health issues and depression, ultimately taking his own life on July 2, 1961, in Ketchum, Idaho. His work continues to influence writers and readers worldwide.
