Publisher Description
2007 Audie Award Finalist for Classics
Originally published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel 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. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.
“The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be, and feel, lost.” —The Wall Street Journal
Customer Reviews
Hurt Doesn’t Hurt
Mixed reviews on this book—I was skeptical at first, and it took me a minute to get used to Hurt’s pace. Basically it comes down to: if you like Hurt’s style, you’ll like this audiobook. If you don’t like Hurt, you probably won’t. I find it actually adds a lot to Hemingway’s short sentenced—choppy—stunted way of writing.
Horrible narration. I want my money back!
Horrible cadence. One minute in and I decided to remove the download entirely.
Terrible reading
The reader has a strange cadence.
