Hemingway's first major novel follows a group of expatriates through Paris cafes and Spanish bullrings, carrying wounds the war left and the peace has not healed.
Jake Barnes, a journalist and veteran, narrates a circle of friends drifting between drink, spectacle and one another, with Lady Brett Ashley at the centre of every attachment that refuses to resolve. The stripped prose leaves motive implied rather than stated, and the move from Paris to the festival at Pamplona sharpens jealousies the group has been managing. This deluxe hardbound edition presents the novel in a durable format.
Why it holds up:
• Narration by Jake Barnes, a wounded veteran turned Paris correspondent
• The pull between Jake, Robert Cohn and Lady Brett Ashley
• Scenes set among bullfights and festival crowds in Pamplona
• The spare declarative style that shaped a century of American prose
For readers of modern classics, students of twentieth-century literature and collectors of hardbound fiction. Order at Boipoka.
