À propos de cet audio

Originally published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel 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. In his first great literary masterpiece, Hemingway portrays an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions.

Ce que les critiques en disent

2007 Audie Award Finalist for Classics

"An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative....It is a truly gripping story, told in lean, hard athletic prose...magnificent." (The New York Times)

“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)

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.

I am glad I read 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' first as this would have made me skeptical of Hemmingway's books

Not Hemmingway's best work

This story transported me back to this specific period in time, and from place to place. I really enjoyed the description of each unique place and felt like I was there along side the characters as they travelled about in this book, the fishing trip was especially enjoyable and inspiring to me.
Books like this are special due to their qualities as time capsules taking the reader to a place that exists only in memories.

I don't often quit a book but I had to make an exception in this case. Was the memory of this work why Hemingway shot himself?

Boring as sawdust

I can't decide between the 3 but this is a contender for favourite. An amazing flow to the story and makes something so casual in some ways so amazing through his writing and detail.

In my Top 3 Hemingway

While appreciated by the lost generation, I don't know if it's an engaging read for this generation. It's hard to relate to the characters. They're all rich artists living it up in Paris/Spain without any really compelling goals or motivations. Bill and Mike didn't really seem to fit into the group well. The characters were interesting, though, well representing the time.
While I get there's supposed to be a lot of subtle meaning in the book, I didn't find it was brought out very well. From what I gathered, this is mostly a recounting of a trip Hemingway took. While this gives the novel a feeling of life and realism, it does drag in places.
The language is superb, delivering clear and oftentimes poetic prose that gives no more details than necessary, it gets dull after a while, giving the book a flat tone. Dialogue is handled great, however, a bit repetitive.
