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

Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Sean Hemingway, this new edition also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son Jack and his first wife, Hadley.

Den gamle mand og havet handler om en gammel fiskers heroiske kamp med at fange en kæmpe sværdfisk og siden forsvare sin fangst mod de griske hajer. En saga om fiskeren og havet, en mytisk beretning om menneskets vilkår. Om mennesket, 'der kan tilintetgøres, men ikke besejres'. Fortællingen fremstilles i en enkel og rolig stil uden et overflødigt ord."Hemingways mest berømte og roste klassiker, som han først modtog Pulitzerprisen for og året efter Nobelprisen ... Bogen har bevaret mytens, folkeeventyrets, sagaens, den sande poesis klarhed og jævnhed, umiddelbare sandhedsforhold. De forskellige ting og episoder 'betyder' ikke noget, de er. Og det er det inderste kendemærke for stor poesi." – Jens Kruse, Jyllandsposten"Med Den gamle mand og havet har han formet et billede så lysende og klart, så følsomt og fast og fejlfrit, at det har tendens til at forvandle sig til symbol." – Tom Kristensen, Politiken

During his first 20 months in Paris, Hemingway filed 88 stories for the Toronto Star newspaper. He covered the Greco-Turkish War, where he witnessed the burning of Smyrna, and wrote travel pieces such as "Tuna Fishing in Spain" and "Trout Fishing All Across Europe: Spain Has the Best, Then Germany". Hemingway was devastated on learning that Hadley had lost a suitcase filled with his manuscripts at the Gare de Lyon as she was traveling to Geneva to meet him in December 1922. The following September, the couple returned to Toronto, where their son John Hadley Nicanor was born on October 10, 1923. During their absence, Hemingway's first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems, was published. Two of the stories it contained were all that remained after the loss of the suitcase, and the third had been written early the previous year in Italy. Within months a second volume, in our time (without capitals), was published. The small volume included six vignettes and a dozen stories Hemingway had written the previous summer during his first visit to Spain, where he discovered the thrill of the corrida. He missed Paris, considered Toronto boring, and wanted to return to the life of a writer, rather than live the life of a journalist
