Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sixth Printing. 290 Pages. This new edition of The Sun Also Rises celebrates the art and craft of Hemingway's quintessential story of the Lost Generation presented by the Hemingway family with illuminating supplementary material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library. The Sun Also Rises is a classic example of Hemingway's spare but powerful writing style. A poignant look at the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation, the novel introduces two of Hemingway's most unforgettable characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley.
