Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises - Softcover

"Remarkable, startling, disquieting" (Spectator)

"Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced" (New York World)

"Hemingway captures atmosphere by reticence and breathes life into his characters by pages left unsaid... It is American; it is literature; and it is a first novel by a genius" (Evening News)

"It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame . . . This novel is unquestionably one of the events of an unusually rich year in literature" (New York Times (1926))

'Remarkable, startling, disquieting' Spectator

Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, a remarkably beautiful yet dissolute woman of class. Leaving behind the Pernod and parties of their life in Paris, the couple and their fellow expatriates take an excursion to Spain. There, in the midst of the dazzling fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is shaken by new passions and jealousies.
