'This is a hell of dull talk...How about some of that champagne?'
Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change. When the couple drift to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the Bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never possess the woman that he loves.
VINTAGE DECO: Nine blazing, daring novels to celebrate the 1920s - 100 years on.
Remarkable, startling, disquieting * Spectator *
Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced * New York World *
Hemingway captures atmosphere by reticence and breathes life into his characters by pages left unsaid... It is American; it is literature; and it is a first novel by a genius * Evening News *
It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame . . . This novel is unquestionably one of the events of an unusually rich year in literature * New York Times (1926) *
