Vintage 1954 The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway, Collectible Hardcover Book

First published in 1926, was a watershed in 20th century literary and cultural history. It introduced the world to the terse, muscular prose --- the most innovative, influential, and imitated of the century. The Sun Also Rises is a tale of young American and British expatriates, all wounded physically or spiritually by World War I, whose cynicism and doubts contrast with the courage and honor of a young brave Spanish bullfighter. Two of the novels main characters, Lady Brett Ashley and Jake Barnes, typify this generation. Lady Brett drifts through a series of affairs despite her love for Jake, who has been rendered impotent by a war wound. A beautifully written story by the Ernest Hemingway, in a full leather binding. Very collectible.
