The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by Ernest Hemingway. The characters are based on real people in Hemingway's circle, and the action is based on real events, particularly Hemingway's life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees.

In this brief collection, published in 1923, Hemingway introduces two styles of writing: his unique, famously austere, and unadorned prose style as well as his early attempts at verse. The three stories are "Up in Michigan", "Out of Season", and "My Old Man", each of which takes place in locales that regular audiences of Hemingway will find familiar: the great outdoors, the Italian countryside, and the racetrack

In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned 18 original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound.

This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history.
