The Sun Also Rises

By: Ernest Hemingway

Narrated by: Charles Constant

A veteran of the Great War, Jake Barnes is both physically and emotionally wounded, leaving him unable to be intimate. Even so, he pines after Lady Brett Ashley, a promiscuous twice-divorced woman. As feelings are hurt and punches are thrown, their lives and the lives of their friends and lovers become tangled as they journey from Paris to Spain and struggle with the repercussions that come from surviving the First World War.

Sometimes referred to as his greatest work, The Sun Also Rises chronicles real people and events in Ernest Hemingway's life in a way that captures the resilience of his generation and that is emblematic of the style for which he is so well known.

Brilliantly written and superbly narrated.

As a Hemingway fan, I find this story right near the top of his best writing. The prose and narration placed me in time and space as if I were part of the cast. Delight in the color, glory, and danger that the running of the bulls delivers. Embrace the characters for their journey, personal challenges, triumphs and failures. The period is post-Great War, but now years past consider how ensuing generations have rebounded from great events. Masterful Hemingway.
Deservedly so, the narration will keep your attention and entertain you.

A Great Piece of Work about Humanity

The characters are real as is the presentation of the human condition. The narrator brings them to life. Well done.
