The Sun Also Rises (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jac

<p><strong><em>The Sun Also Rises</em> is a love story between Jake Barnes-a man whose war wound has made him unable to have sex-and the promiscuous divorcée Lady Brett Ashley.</strong> Jake is an expatriate American journalist living in Paris, while Lady Brett is a twice-divorced Englishwoman with bobbed hair and numerous love affairs, and embodies the new sexual freedom of the 1920s. Lady Brett tells Jake she loves him, but their chances of a stable relationship are thwarted as she begins to seduce other men. </p><p><br></p><p>The characters in <em>The Sun Also Rises</em> are based on people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on Hemingway's life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. 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.</p><p><br></p><p>&#65279;&#65279;This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Ernest Hemingway<br><b>Publisher:</b> Royal Classics<br><b>Published:</b> 11/15/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 192<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.00lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781774769089
