The Sun Also Rises: The Authorized Edition -- Ernest Hemingway

<b>A Scribner Classics Edition</b> <p/><b>"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." -- <i>The Wall Street Journal</i></b> <p/> <b>One of America's best-loved novels by PBS's <i>The Great American Read</i></b> <p/><i>The Sun Also Rises</i> is a classic example of Hemingway's spare but powerful writing style. It celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway's quintessential story of the Lost Generation. <p/> A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, <i>The Sun Also Rises</i> is "an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative...a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose" (<i>The New York Times</i>).<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ernest Hemingway<br><b>Publisher:</b> Scribner Book Company<br><b>Published:</b> 06/10/1996<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.01lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.56h x 6.35w x 0.82d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780684830513<br><br><b>Accelerat
