Overview2007 Audie Award Finalist for Classics Originally published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel and a classic example of his spare but powerful writing style. 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. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. “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.” —The Wall Street Journal Full Product DetailsAuthor: Ernest Hemingway , William Hurt , Colm ToibinPublisher: Simon & Schuster Imprint: Simon & Schuster Audio Edition: Unabridged Dimensions: Width: 12.70cm , Height: 3.00cm , Length: 14.90cm Weight: 0.229kg ISBN: 9780743564410ISBN 10: 0743564413 Pages: 7 Publication Date: 17 October 2006 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Audio Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
