In a new translation: The book that established Hemingway's worldwide fame - about American outsiders after World War I, about unrequited love, and about bullfighting in Pamplona. Lady Brett Ashley makes men unhappy in succession: her confidant, the first-person narrator Jack Barnes, a typical Hemingway hero, is dominated and resigned; the amateur boxer Robert Cohn, who comes from a wealthy family; and finally Pedro Romero, the bullfighter, proud and full of dignity, yet powerless against Lady Brett. They all live with fatalistic carelessness under the hot sun of France and Spain, between the arena and nights of revelry.
