The Sun Also Rises (DF Modern Classics)

'The Sun Also Rises,' Ernest Hemingway's first novel, was first published in 1926 and is a classic example of his spare yet influential writing style. The novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, and provides a poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation. Based on Hemingway's own experiences, it is the story of a group of American and English expatriates living in Paris who take an excursion to Pamplona, Spain. This powerful work of modern fiction, filled with memorable characters and universal themes, has forever associated Hemingway with bullfights and the running of the bulls. The novel, which is summarized in this volume and enhanced by thought-provoking critical extracts and focused biographical details, helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
