The Annotated Sun Also Rises: 100th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

100th Anniversary Deluxe Edition: A richly illustrated, full-color, clothbound celebration of the novel that established Hemingway as the preeminent voice of the Lost Generation

Rediscover a literary masterpiece through illuminating commentary that brings its colorful world to vivid life

The Sun Also Rises is the novel that established Hemingway as the preeminent voice of the Lost Generation. Now, rediscover this classic work in a fully illustrated annotated centenary edition that features Library of America’s authoritative corrected text, including an introduction by The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik, some 140 illustrations and photographs, and more than 200 fascinating marginal notes.

Drawn from the authoritative Library of America edition of Hemingway’s writings, this deluxe edition features:

• The novel’s original opening two chapters from his typescript, cut at the strong urging of his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald.
• A selection of letters from Hemingway to Maxwell Perkins, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and others that concern the composition, editing, and publication of The Sun Also Rises.
• Other special features include an introduction by Adam Gopnik and a detailed chronology of Hemingway’s life and career.

Throughout, Hemingway scholar Robert W. Trogdon offers fascinating insight into the novel's historical and biographical contexts, language, literary allusions, and contemporary references. The large cast of expat figures whom Hemingway fictionalizes in his book, the setting of 1920s Paris and Spain, the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, and, of course, bullfighting, as well as the novel’s rich cultural afterlife, are brought vividly to life as never before.

The new, corrected text of the novel fixes numerous errors, restoring key changes made to his original punctuation—most notably in the novel’s famous final lines—to bring us closer than ever before to the groundbreaking modernist work Hemingway envisioned.
