Published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway's first novel and stunning portrait of wanderlust and disillusionment amongst the lost generation.

In the aftermath of World War I, Jake Barnes wants the one thing he knows he can't have-the beautiful and vivacious Lady Brett Ashley. Physically scarred by the war and psychologically tortured by the nature of his injury, the hope of a relationship with the promiscuous divorcée is almost entirely out of the question despite any love felt between the two. It is a reality that Jake acknowledges but cannot completely accept. Meanwhile, Lady Brett embraces a newfound sense of sexual freedom in light of her divorce and enters into a number of love affairs, beginning with Jake's friend, and aspiring writer, Robert Cohn.

As the three continue their travels through Europe, they expand their circle of friends to include another war veteran, Bill Gorton as well as the future fiance of Lady Brett, Mike Campbell and a young bullfighter, Pedro Romero. Living on the edge, the group indugles their wanderlust, engages in loose sexual escapades, and begin to drink away the memories of war and their disappointments with life-hoping to make sense of it all.

Professionally typeset with a stunning new cover, The Sun Also Rises is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.
