Description:
The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s groundbreaking novel of postwar expatriate life and the defining work of the “Lost Generation.” Drawing on his Paris years, Hemingway introduced a new spare, disciplined prose style that reshaped twentieth-century American literature. The novel’s portrayal of disillusionment, masculinity, and moral aimlessness remains as powerful today as it was upon publication.
This early Scribner hardcover captures the novel in its classic prewar form, produced before mid-century changes in materials and design.
Collector’s Notes / Why We Love This Book:
An early Scribner reprint with the desirable embossed quill device and bright gilt spine, representing one of the most respected non-first collectible formats of Hemingway’s work. Without a dust jacket—as expected for early copies—but presenting exceptionally well, this is a strong shelf copy of a major American literary landmark.
