When first published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises changed American literature forever. Hemingway follows a disillusioned group of expats in post-World War I Europe whose relationships unravel as they travel from Paris to the bullfights in Spain. Unsettling, provocative, and inspiring to this day, this legendary novel about loyalty, love, and betrayal challenges readers to discover what it takes to be true to oneself. This authoritative edition includes a new foreword that explores how to read Hemingway from the changed perspective of our time and commentary by Lesley M. M. Blume, the best-selling author of Everybody Behaves Badly, and Mark Cirino and Michael Von Cannon from the Hemingway Society. Ernest Hemingway was one of the greatest and most influential American writers of the 20th century. ?A globe-trotting expert on bullfights, booze, women, wars, big game hunting, deep sea fishing, and courage,? Hemingway lived a life so adventurous that it overshadows his artistic legacy ? even though he won a Pulitzer Prize for ?The Old Man and the Sea? in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature one year later. A World War I ambulance driver (seriously injured during the war), he worked as a journalist for most of his early life, reporting from the Spanish Civil War and was present both at D-Day and the liberation of Paris. He also enjoyed bullfighting and safari-hunting in Africa. He lived his later life in Cuba, survived two fatal plane crashes, and committed suicide in 1961. Many of his short stories and novels are considered classics. His posthumously published memoir, ?A Moveable Feast? is regarded as one of the best non-fiction books in history.
