The Sun Also Rises, Hardback Book

The Sun Also Rises Hardback

Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series

Hardback

Description

The Sun Also Rises is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and chasing their illusions in post-World War I Europe.

The man at its centre, world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, is burdened both by a wound acquired in the war and by his utterly hopeless love for the extravagantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley.

When Jake, Brett and their friends leave Paris behind and converge in Pamplona for the annual festival of the running of the bulls, tensions among the various rivals for Brett's wayward affections build to a devastating climax. Hemingway, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, has exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English.

His signature prose style, tersely powerful and concealing more than it reveals, arguably reached its apex in this modernist masterpiece.
