Книга: Sun Also Rises (Ernest Hemingway)

2007 Audie Award Finalist for ClassicsNominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. This new edition of The Sun Also Rises celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway's quintessential story of the Lost Generationpresented by the Hemingway family with illuminating supplementary material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library. The Sun Also Rises is a classic example of Hemingways 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 Hemingways 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, The Sun Also Rises is an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrativea truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose (The New York Times). This new Hemingway Library Edition celebrates Hemingways classic novel with a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, the authors sole surviving son, and a new introduction by Sean Hemingway, grandson of the author. Hemingway considered the extensive rewriting that he did to shape his first novel the most difficult job of his life. Early drafts, deleted passages, and possible titles included in this new edition elucidate how the author achieved his first great literary masterpiece.
