First Edition Library Facsimile Edition: The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of 20th-century American literary history, Lost Generation lore, and fine press facsimile publishing ephemera: an official First Edition Library (FEL) replica volume of The Sun Also Rises by Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway.
A quintessential modernist masterpiece, Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) published his landmark debut novel in 1926 through Charles Scribner's Sons. Capturing the post-World War I disillusionment of the "Lost Generation," the story follows Jake Barnes, Lady Brett Ashley, and an entourage of American and British expatriates traveling from the bohemian cafés of Paris to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The work established Hemingway's iconic, economical writing style and cemented his status as a major literary force.
Published by The First Edition Library (Shelton, Connecticut), this precise facsimile edition faithfully recreates the original 1926 first printing in exact detail. The volume features the iconic original dust jacket design by Cleonike Damianakes depicting a seated Classical figure beneath an apple tree, along with the famous portrait drawing of Hemingway by John Blomshield on the jacket's rear panel. The volume is housed in FEL's signature custom gray cloth slipcase featuring an inlaid reproduction of the jacket artwork.
Preserved in factory-sealed condition, the slipcase and volume remain completely enclosed within the original protective publisher shrinkwrap:
