{"product_id":"the-sun-also-rises-9781434104854","title":"The Sun Also Rises","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces, \u003cem\u003eThe Sun Also Rises\u003c\/em\u003e is the quintessential novel of the \"Lost Generation\"-American expatriates living in Paris after World War I. The characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHemingway presents his notion that the \"Lost Generation\"-considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I-was in fact resilient and strong. Through the cafes of Paris, the Fiesta in Pamplona, the bull-fights, we accompany them with amusement tinged with a deep feeling of underlying tragedy, for the sense of life they impart-illusions shattered, reticences dissipated-is that of the futile repetitions of the Book of Ecclesiastes from which the title comes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHemingway's spare writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterization and action, invests the novel with a power that lurks under the rather mundane narrative, illuminating the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that the novel is \"Hemingway's greatest work,\" and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. First published in 1926, \u003cem\u003eThe Sun Also Rises\u003c\/em\u003e helped establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHemingway, Ernest:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway.
