Considered by many to be Hemingway’s greatest work, The Sun Also Rises is the author’s roman à clef featuring his entourage at that time and the real events that came to mark the beginnings of his obsession with bullfighting. Hemingway presents the idea that the "Lost Generation" (those dissolute artists and writers who felt failed by World War I) had formed a new way of viewing the world and the meaning of life – and death. The dance of the matador and the bull is likened to the dance of life, and the killing, the sacrifices we make for love and self-conviction.
This undated (we estimate 1990) facsimile of the 1926 edition is an imprint of the Collector’s Reprints, Inc. which independently published high quality facsimiles of many classic American novels. These editions are now extremely rare. This pristine edition comes in a custom hard-shell case provided by the publisher.
