The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, his first, that portrays American and British expatriates who travel along the Camino de Santiago from Paris to the Festival of San Ferm\u00edn in Pamplona and watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. An early modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that it is now \u201crecognized as Hemingway\u2019s greatest work\u201d and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel.The novel was published in the United States in October 1926 by Scribner\u2019s. A year later, Jonathan Cape published the novel in London under the title Fiesta. It remains in print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The novel is a roman \u00e0 clef: the characters are based on people in Hemingway\u2019s circle and the action is based on events, particularly Hemingway\u2019s life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway converted to Catholicism as he wrote the novel, and Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera notes that protagonist Jake Barnes, a Catholic, was \u201ca vehicle for Hemingway to rehearse his own conversion, testing the emotions that would accompany one of the most important acts of his life.\u201dHemingway presents his notion that the \u201cLost Generation\u201d\u2014considered to have been decadent, dissolute and irretrievably damaged by World War I\u2014was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature and the concept of masculinity. His spare writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterizations and action, demonstrates his \u201cIceberg Theory\u201d of writing.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":10019,"template":"","format":[59],"meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"book-author":[183],"blockchain":[4,63,64],"book-genre":[],"narrator":[],"book-publisher":[58],"series":[68,66],"class_list":["post-9991","book-dea","type-book-dea","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-author-ernest-hemingway","blockchain-cardano","blockchain-ethereum","blockchain-polygon","format-ebook","book-publisher-book-io","series-misfits","series-multi-chain"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
