Hemingway's first novel is set in high-living 1920s Paris, which he paints as a vacuum in which promiscuity and alcohol are the guiding lights. It is the tale of a group of American and British expatriates, the 'lost generation', who are drawn to a Spanish fiesta. There, the hero, Jake Barnes, who is impotent physically and empty spiritually, finds some meaning in life again when he witnesses the bullfights which pit man against beast, and life agaisnt death. Much admired by Jake is Pedro Romero, a young matador, characterized by his skill, courage and moral seriousness, who stands in complete contrast to the dissolute band of fun-seekers of which Jake is a part. Review "Remarkable, startling, disquieting" Spectator "Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced" New York World "Hemingway captures atmosphere by reticence and breathes life into his characters by pages left unsaid... It is American; it is literature; and it is a first novel by a genius" Evening News "It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame ... This novel is unquestionably one of the events of an unusually rich year in literature" New York Times (1926) Review Under his macho image, and despite his predilection for bullfighting, hard liquor and duck shooting, Hemingway at his best was a great artist and one of the inventors of modern dialogue. This is a book which is soaked in sunshine and the momentary pleasures of life, made more poignant by a central character who can't enjoy the best of them. (Kirkus UK)Biography Ernest Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899, the second of six children. In 1917, he joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922 he reported on the Greco-Turkish war, then resigned from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris, associating with other expatriates like Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing. His direct and deceptively simple style spawned generations of imitators but no equals. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, and died in 1961.
