Discover the story of The Sun Also Rises with this striking collector's edition from Union Square & Co.'s Signature Editions series! The classic texts that shaped our culture feature exclusive cover art by distinguished artist Malika Favre. Her bold, graphic style gives each classic literature book a small masterpiece for a jacket. Collect the set or prize this The Sun Also Rises special edition as your showpiece literary classic. Jake Barnes, a wounded war veteran, is now working as a journalist in Paris in the aftermath of World War I, and he and his American and British expatriate friends--among them his occasional love interest, Lady Brett Ashley--search for meaning and purpose in their unmoored lives. Against the backdrop of bullfights in Pamplona and wine-soaked nights in Parisian cafes, they grapple with the existential question of how to find fulfillment in a world marked by loss and uncertainty. Literary history and meaning: The Sun Also Rises was first published in 1926. Set in the post-World War I era, the novel follows a group of expatriates as they travel from Paris to Pamplona to attend the Running of the Bulls. Through the experiences of the protagonist, Jake Barnes, and his circle of friends, Hemingway explores themes of disillusionment, aimlessness, and the search for meaning in a world shattered by war. Hemingway's spare prose style and depiction of the "Lost Generation" captured the spirit of the time and solidified his reputation as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Its relevance today lies in its portrayal of existential angst and disillusionment, as well as its exploration of themes such as masculinity, friendship, and the quest for authenticity in an increasingly fragmented world.

Boring Read
I picked up the Sun Also Rises as my first introduction to Hemingway. While I was very excited - I have to say however that I was fairly disappointed with this 200+ page novel. More than once during this novel, I had thoughts of putting it down never to return to it.
The pace of the book, extremely slow and methodical, make it very difficult to get through the whole story. The tone is fairly monotonous for most of the book with the plot unwinding in very ordinary fashion without much intrigue whatsoever.
I found the characters in the book to be a bit annoying - their excessive eating and drinking along with their rather quick, undeveloped dialogue proved difficult to digest. The characters appeared to avoid some of the major topics, situations and events that were laid out in the novel in favor of drinking, eating & socializing.
The saving grace of this book is Hemingway's depiction of bull-fighting towards the end. Even though many pages are not spent in this area, there was well-written, intriguing and even suspenseful prose in those bull-fighting pages.
The main reason I read this book through till the end was to find out how things would develop and end with the character Brett - and her relationship with Jake.
As I mentioned - however - the novel proved to be a disappointment.

huh?
I was under the impression I was buying an Ernest Hemingway book. I'm sure I failed to read some 2 point font somewhere, but it is NOT an Ernest Hemingway book. More like Cliff's Notes. Trash canned it.
