Description
A brilliant novel of frustrated love.
To love and be loved, yet to know fulfilment can never be realized - that is Jake Barnes' tragedy. He and Brett Ashley drift about Paris, rootless, pleasure-seeking. She, attractive, passionate, can't resist the advances of other men.
Together they go to Spain. Crowds flock to Pamplona's fiesta. Brett falls for a bullfighter.
'I'm mad about him,' she tells Jake. 'I can't help it... it's tearing me all up inside.'
Originally published as THE SUN ALSO RISES Ernest Hemingway's remarkable first novel made his name world-famous. 'It is American; it is literature; and it is by a genius with a future.'
The Evening News, July, 1927.
