À propos de cet audio

 2007 Audie Award Finalist for Classics

“The ideal companion for troubled times: equal parts Continental escape and serious grappling with the question of what it means to be, and feel, lost.” —The Wall Street Journal

Originally published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises helped cement Ernest Hemingway's status as the one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. A poignant look at disillusionment and angst, the novel introduces two of Hemingway’s most indelible characters: Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley.

The story follows the flamboyant Brett and the hapless Jake as they journey from 1920s Paris to the brutal bullfighting rings of Spain with a motley group of expatriates. It is set during an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. The story lays bare themes of alienation and disenchanted youth.

Hemingway's first novel is “an absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative...a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard, athletic prose” (The New York Times). 20e siècle Classiques Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Historique

MInd you I suppose I should cut Hemingway the same slack as I am willing to cut Tolstoy for say Anna Karinina. I guess some writers enjoyed writng about people who don't appear to accomplish very much which only enforces my wish to be a Russian aristocrat in the 1830's or apparently a North American expatriote in France prior to WW!!. But seriously, as much as I enjoyed reading about the cultural milieu and the angst of these 30 somethings?? living in it, I didn't find this story to be as profound as I had hoped. I will not call it boring but I willl say I thought the narrator fit the tone of the story perfectly. I mighty have to listen again to see if I missed anything.

Not entirely sure what the point was

Hemingway's story is superb and William Hurt really brings it to life. I don't understand why so many listeners here were disappointed by the reader, I almost gave up listening to this book. I'm glad I didn't. Hurt did a great job adapting Hemingway's style to audio.

By far the best book I've listened to

Well written and we'll narrated by William Hurt. The story is very captivating despite being more of a slice of life story where not much happens.

Well narrated

One of the better audio books I've listened to in a while. I think I could listen to William Hurt recite the New York yellow pages.
I've read this before but it's equally enjoyable spoken in words from an great orator..

I was transported into this novel...

I just do not enjoy Hemingway's style. I understand that this book is about a lost generation who is dealing with the emotions during the aftermath of the first world war. I just do not care about the characters, the setting, or their stories.

The positives are that this is a fairly short book and that the performance is exceptional.

positives: fairly short book
