Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced. -New York World An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative. . . . It is a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard athletic prose . . . magnificent. -The New York Times An elegy for the loss of innocence, of religion, of our old comforting myths. . . . While every generation has its novel about dissipated young people drinking and drugging, the reason this book has survived is that it is a fundamentally philosophical work. -Philipp Meyer, New York Times bestselling author 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. -Tara Isabella Burton, The Wall Street Journal The Sun Also Rises is Hemingway's masterpiece-one of them, anyway-and no matter how many times you've read it or how you feel about the manners and morals of the characters, you won't be able to resist its spell. This is a classic that really does live up to its reputation. -David Laskin

Author Information

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. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
