This novel, first published in 1926, was a watershed in 20th century literary and cultural history. It introduced the world to the terse, muscular prose -- the most innovative, influential, and imitated of the century. The Sun Also Rises is a tale of young American and British expatriates, all wounded physically or spiritually by World War I, whose cynicism and doubts contrast with the courage and honor of a young brave Spanish bullfighter. A beautifully written story by the master Hemingway, in a full leather binding. Very collectible. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
