Una de las grandes novelas del Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway, ambientada en Pamplona.Esta hermosa y punzante historia narra la excursión a Pamplona de un grupo de americanos e ingleses exiliados en París en los años veinte, donde se reencuentran la seductora Brett Ashley y el desventurado Jake Barnes, que durante la Primera Guerra Mundial vivieron un amor genuino e irrealizable. El ambiente del París rive gauche y las descripciones de las corridas de toros en España, brutalmente realistas, son la metáfora de una era de bancarrota moral, amores imposibles e ilusiones perdidas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe debut novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author that is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and chasing their dreams in postwar Europe. It captures the disillusionment and moral ambiguity of the Lost Generation following World War I.“An absorbingly beautiful and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative ... It is a truly gripping story.” —The New York TimesErnest Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English through his economical prose style that conceals more than it reveals. His first novel, published in 1926, is narrated by world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, who is burdened by a wound acquired in World War I and by his utterly hopeless love for the flamboyantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises tracks the Lost Generation of the 1920s from the nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain.
