<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Capturing the angst of the post-World War I generation, known as the Lost Generation, this poignantly beautiful story is now released in an 80th anniversary edition. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Originally published in 1926, <i>The Sun Also Rises </i>is Ernest Hemingway's first novel and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style.</b> <p/>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 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. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. <p/>"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." --<i>The Wall Street Journal</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative... a truly gripping story... magnificent."<br> <b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/>"<i>The Sun Also Rises </i>is a novel of great silence. Something central is hidden, which the reader discovers little by little. The characters are rich, interesting, fascinating, and a little bit tragic, as Hemingway's characters always are."<br> <b>--Mario Vargas Llosa</b> <p/>"Hemingway writes as if he had never read anybody's writing, as if he had fashioned the art of writing himself."<br> <b>--<i>The Atlantic</i></b> <p/>"<i>The Sun Also Rises</i> introduced me to a kind of exotica, a glamour, a life that I couldn't believe. I was seduced by it."<br> <b>--Edna O'Brien</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of <i>The Sun Also Rises</i> and <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel <i>The</i> <i>Old Man and the Sea</i> won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, <i>Hemingway</i>. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
