The official edition of Ernest Hemingway’s first novel. “The perfect companion for difficult times: both a European escape and a serious meditation on what it means to be lost.” — The Wall Street Journal “The Sun Also Rises” is a classic example of Hemingway’s laconic yet evocative style. Published by the author’s family with additional material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library, this novel is the quintessential Lost Generation. The novel immerses us in the disillusionment and anxiety of the aftermath of World War I, introducing us to two unforgettable characters, Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows their journey from the cafes and wild nightlife of Paris to the brutal bullfights of Spain, in the company of other lost immigrants. It is an era of spiritual desolation, moral crisis, unfulfilled love, and shattered illusions. First published in 1926, the novel was called by The New York Times “a touching, absurd, painful, but gripping story, told in restrained, strong, courageous language.”
