The Sun Also Rises: And Stories from in Our Time and Men Without Women (Centennial Edition)

A Penguin Classic

It's the early 1920s in Paris, and Jake, a wounded World War I veteran working as a journalist, is hopelessly in love with charismatic British socialite Lady Brett Ashley. Brett, however, settles for no one: an independent, liberated divorc e, all she wants out of life is a good time. When Jake, Brett, and a crew of their expatriate friends travel to Spain to watch the bullfights, both passions and tensions rise. Amid the flash and revelry of the fiesta, each of the men vies to make Brett his own, until Brett's flirtation with a confident young bullfighter ignites jealousies that set their group alight.

This centennial edition of Hemingway's beloved first novel includes the bullfighting vignettes from his 1924 collection, In Our Time, and some of his most widely-anthologized stories--"The Undefeated," "In Another Country," "Hills Like White Elephants," "A Canary for One," and "Now I Lay Me"--from his 1927 collection, Men Without Women.
