The Sun Also Rises

The launch of the Signature Classics program in jacketed hardcover format. Sterling will roll out six new Signature Classics hardcovers with cover designs different from accompanying trade paperback editions each season.
The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway's first published novel and the definitive portrait of the Lost Generation. It chronicles the experiences of Jake Barnes, a wounded war veteran now working as a journalist in Paris in the aftermath of World War I, and his American and British expatriate friends--among them his occasional love interest, Lady Brett Ashley--as they search for meaning and purpose in their unmoored lives. The novel's plot climaxes in Spain, during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, in a series of events that illuminate both the strengths and shortcomings of the characters' lives.
