The Sun Also Rises

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway was his first novel to be published, though there is his novella The Torrents of Spring which was published earlier in the same year. It portrays American and British expatriates who travel along the Camino de Santiago from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona and watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. The novel describes, expressed through the voice of Jake Barnes, a short period of social life that ranges from Paris to locations in Spain. One might say that the action occurs in Pamplona, but one can easily argue that the real interest of the novel is in its portrayal of the group to which Barnes is a part and how he details their anxieties, frailties, hopes, and frustrations. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that it is now "recognized as Hemingway's greatest work" and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. The novel was published in the United States in 1926. A year later, the novel was published in England under the title Fiesta. It remains in print. Audiobook read by Kevin S., running time 3 hours, 57 min. Unabridged full version. Also available as E-Book.
