Charming and informative peek into a past world., Lee & Shepard, 3, Buenos Aires, Argentina: Santiago Rueda, 1944. 1944 Spanish edition of The Sun Also Rises. Thick paper wraps, red and black cover and spine titles, moderate edge wear, some spine chip. Pages very good; toned. Bind good; cloth ropes at top, bottom of spine. Soild, intact example. Hemingway's great post-World War I novel, first major work and the classic novel of the "lost generation". A vivid exploration of the moral wasteland of Europe in the Twenties, and of the sterility and despair of postwar life. The hero, Jake Barnes, has suffered a war injury leaving him impotent. Hopelessly in love with the seductive and flamboyant Lady Brett Ashley, Jake leaves Paris to accompany Brett, her drunken fiancé, and an American boxer to Pamplona, watching as she falls for a young bullfighter. The expatriate crowd that Hemingway portrays so vividly passes their lives in an aimless alcoholic haze, against which the local fiestas and the running of the bulls seem, by contrast, full of vitality--a quality that is alien to them. The settings are romantic - the bull ring, the Paris streets, the bars, cafés and hotels - but Hemingway invests them all with a disillusion that undercuts the glamour of expatriate life. 265 pages. Insured post.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book., Santiago Rueda, 1944, 2.5<
