The atmosphere of postwar Paris, famous literary cafés that still exist, a Spanish bullfight, fishing, loving a woman and the impossibility of being with her, jealousy, disappointments, an attempt to forget with alcohol—everything is described in Hemingway’s characteristic “telegraphic” style: laconic and restrained. And yet, this story captivates and enchants readers.
The book was also published under the title “And the Sun Rises.”
