Critics Review
“Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced.”–New York World
“Hemingway’s masterpiece… turns 100 years old with its allure intact… a cornerstone of the American literary canon.”
–Associated Press
“Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced.”
–New York World
“An absorbing, beautifully and tenderly absurd, heartbreaking narrative… a truly gripping story… magnificent.”
–The New York Times
“The Sun Also Rises is a novel of great silence. Something central is hidden, which the reader discovers little by little. The characters are rich, interesting, fascinating, and a little bit tragic, as Hemingway’s characters always are.”
–Mario Vargas Llosa
“Hemingway writes as if he had never read anybody’s writing, as if he had fashioned the art of writing himself.”
–The Atlantic
“The Sun Also Rises introduced me to a kind of exotica, a glamour, a life that I couldn’t believe. I was seduced by it.”
–Edna O’Brien

His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.
