About this audiobook

The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, his first, that portrays American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights.

The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces and a classic example of his 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. The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from the wild nightlife of 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Ratings and reviews

Can't go wrong with a classic. This one has it all: love, heartbreak, suspense, action, loose women, partying, bullfighting, etc. A deep, thoughtful story of Americans on vacation in Spain. Has some racist speech, discussion of r**e, assault, animal cruelty, etc, so the easily offended be warned, this book may not be for you. A great look into times of the past, how people viewed and interacted with each other. Overall an excellent quick read. Will be keeping this one in my library.
