The quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, The Sun Also Rises is one of Ernest Hemingway's masterpieces, 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. It is an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped to establish Hemingway as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.

Written during the last years of Hemingway's life, his memoir is a lively and powerful reflection of his genius that scintillates with the romance of the city.

Válečný román uchvacující další a další generace čtenářů. Velká válka zasáhla nejen Evropu, ale i Ameriku. Řada amerických dobrovolníků spěchala na evropská bojiště, mezi nimi i Ernest Hemingway. Své zážitky z italské fronty popsal v románu Sbohem, armádo! z roku 1929. Zachytil v něm příběh milostného vzplanutí amerického poručíka Frederika k anglické ošetřovatelce Catherine a současně rozpad dříve stabilních jistot. Více než samotný obraz války Hemingwaye zajímá osud konkrétního člověka, to, jak se mění v neznámých ohrožujících podmínkách a zda je schopen opravdové lásky. Protože za válečné vřavy se jistoty v mezilidských vztazích hledají těžko.

Nedozírná volná prostranství buše, obrazy pestrobarevné africké krajiny, neodbytné vzrušení lovce krátce předtím, než zmáčkne spoušť. To jsou pocity absolutního štěstí, které Hemingway v Africe zažíval. Své vzpomínky na jedinečný ráz africké krajiny přibližuje srozumitelným a jednoduchým stylem, věrohodně a nestrojeně. Lyrický cestopisný deník není jen barvitým líčením krajiny a vzrušujících příhod vášnivého lovce a milovníka zvěře. Jeho součástí jsou i úvahy o světě, umění a životě. „Kdyby se někomu zdálo, že je v mém vypravování příliš málo o lásce, je na něm, aby si v příběhu našel nebo našla tolik lásky, kolik právě prožívá,“ nabádá spisovatel a dodává: „Správný lov má vypadat tak, že člověk loví, dokud žije a dokud takové a takové zvíře existuje.“

Pro mnoho lidí představuje Ernest Hemingway spíše mozaiku mýtů než člověka: vojáka, sportovce, lovce, expatriota a samozřejmě spisovatele. Ale pod těmito legendami stále uniká jeho skutečný život. Jak vypadal jako rozesmátý kluk či mladý voják? Co psal ve svých nejdůvěrnějších dopisech? Jak ho změnily jízdenky, které držel v ruce cestou z Francie do Španělska nebo napříč americkým Středozápadem, a co si na těchto cestách zapisoval, aby to z toho později vznikla povídka nebo román? Ernest Hemingway – Svědectví jednoho života zodpoví tyto i mnohé další otázky. Celý svazek, s předmluvou Hemingwayova syna Patricka a doslovem jeho vnuka Seana, připravil správce Hemingwayovy pozůstalosti, který též napsal úvod. Tato bohatě vypravená kniha, osvětlující autorův život ze všech možných stran, vypráví příběh jeho nesmírně úspěšné spisovatelské dráhy prostřednictvím předmětů, jichž se dotýkal, okamžiků, které prožil, myšlenek, jež se mu každý den honily hlavou.

No writer portrayed America's Jazz Age as vividly as F. Scott Fitzgerald. In his effervescent tales of ingenues on the prowl for husbands, Ivy League heirs en route to futures of idle entitlement, and endless alcohol-fueled dance parties at ritzy country clubs, he limned a culture giddy with excess and as reckless as it was refined. Gifted with remarkable powers of observation and a witty way with words, Fitzgerald wrote stories that seem as fresh and modern today as they did when published a century ago. This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works features Fitzgerald's first two published novels-This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned-and 19 short stories, including the classics "Bernice Bobs Her Hair," "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz," and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." The volume also includes Fitzgerald's landmark short novel The Great Gatsby. First published in 1925, this tale of the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his unrequited love for Daisy Buchanan has been read for decades as a parable about the American Dream. It is regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century. This Great Gatsby and Other Classic Works is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.
