The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway Paperback 1984 movie tie-in edition Ernest Hemingway, in a 1926 novel, portrays American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. An early and enduring modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. however, it is now recognized as Hemingway's greatest work and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. The basis for the novel was Hemingway's trip to Spain in 1925. The setting was unique and memorable, depicting sordid cafe life in Paris and the excitement of the Pamplona festival, with a middle section devoted to descriptions of a fishing trip in the Pyrenees. Hemingway's sparse writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterizations and action, demonstrates his Iceberg Theory of writing. The characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events. Hemingway presents his notion that the Lost Generation, considered to have been decadent, dissolute, and irretrievably damaged by World War I was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature, and the concept of masculinity. This movie tie-in edition is a perfect addition to any collection.
