Reviews"Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced." -New York World "An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative. . . . It is a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard athletic prose . . . magnificent." -The New York Times "An elegy for the loss of innocence, of religion, of our old comforting myths. . . . While every generation has its novel about dissipated young people drinking and drugging, the reason this book has survived is that it is a fundamentally philosophical work." -Philipp Meyer, New York Times bestselling author "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." -Tara Isabella Burton, The Wall Street Journal "The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's masterpiece-one of them, anyway-and no matter how many times you've read it or how you feel about the manners and morals of the characters, you won't be able to resist its spell. This is a classic that really does live up to its reputation." -David Laskin

SynopsisOne of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces, The Sun Also Rises is the quintessential novel of the "Lost Generation"-American expatriates living in Paris after World War I. The characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events. Hemingway presents his notion that the "Lost Generation"-considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I-was in fact resilient and strong. Through the cafes of Paris, the Fiesta in Pamplona, the bull-fights, we accompany them with amusement tinged with a deep feeling of underlying tragedy, for the sense of life they impart-illusions shattered, reticences dissipated-is that of the futile repetitions of the Book of Ecclesiastes from which the title comes. Hemingway's spare writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterization and action, invests the novel with a power that lurks under the rather mundane narrative, illuminating the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that the novel is "Hemingway's greatest work," and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press., One of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces, The Sun Also Rises is the quintessential novel of the "Lost Generation"-American expatriates living in Paris after World War I.
