This is Modern Library edition number 170. First published by The Modern Library in 1930, this is a 1952 reprint. **RARE AND COLLECTIBLE MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET** The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. So thereвЂ™s that question answered, thank you wвЂ™gums.Hardcover. вЂњThe characters are all types: the main character is a sensitive girl growing up among dolts, and the sensitive girl is sensitive from beginning to end and the dolts are doltish from beginning to end, and we know that the girl is better than they are because sheвЂ™s interested in books and we know the dolts are worse than she is because they, oh my, oh shock, oh horror, drink alcohol and watch television and curl their hair and *donвЂ™t read books.* And this is thundered home with such sour and snobbish persistence that I wound up on the side of the dolts.вЂќ вЂњSeparation of the indivisibleвЂќ? You what now? IвЂ™d just finished the book and two hundred pages of sentences like the one above had driven me to a pitch of squealing irritation. I typed out a rough blog-post about The Long Prospect then decided not to post it because it was all pure wailing and howling. ItвЂ™s included in 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. ThereвЂ™s a terrific review of this book at HannahвЂ™s blog. In a multicultural and global world, book charactersВ ought not all sound the same, and writing styles should reflect the rich diversityВ of the cultures we share. ItвЂ™s important to read Hemingway, and enjoyable too, but it seems to me that we have all moved on and his heyday is over. Simplicity that lapses into dull, plodding sentencesВ is all too common, especially in novels that featureВ the seamy side of life whereВ the characters haveВ theВ vocabulary of eight year olds. Lyricism laid on with a trowel is painful to read, but itвЂ™s equally easy for minimalism to degenerate into paucity of vocabulary.

(A little too vivid if you donвЂ™t care for bullfighting!) Most writersВ need an adjective or adverb here and there ifВ the prose is not to become pedestrian. Few can achieve the impact that Hemingway did with short, declarative sentences, vivid imagesВ and simple prose. And because he was a master of his art it works: his stories are original, powerful, and haunting.Д«ut alas for many who admire his writing, itвЂ™s too easy for copycat efforts to become tiresome reading. Anyone can whip through a Hemingway inВ a day or two. ItвЂ™s also easy to understandВ his appeal: straightforward, direct, minimalist, easy to read.

My point is that these few would give any reader a sense of 19th century style and preoccupations, andВ would alsoВ demonstrate the universality of the human condition over time.ДЄ reader with that kind ofВ understanding of the development of the novel is then in a position to recognise the audacity of HemingwayвЂ™s departure from existingВ writing styles and his influence on 20th century writing. Well, there is nothing to stop peopleВ choosingВ otherВ booksВ as well, or substituting different authors and titles. (I could even suggest an Australian classic as you might have expected me to). Yes, I could beВ more inclusive more international less Eurocentric and yes, I could suggest a betterВ gender balance or fewer dead white males. Yes, there could be endless arguments about these choices, which are basically just the classicsВ that I read as a teenager. I think that anyone whoвЂ™s a serious booklover should read at least some of the greatВ 19th century classics: Pride andВ Prejudice JaneВ Eyre: Great Expectations WutheringВ Heights Silas Marner a Thackeray, a Trollope a Thomas Hardy one of the Russians вЂ“ preferably Tolstoy something by Balzac and something by Henry James. I donвЂ™t intend to add to the plethora of words about this ground-breaking book except to make a case for why a lover of AustralianВ literature should make the time to read it, and why wannabe HemingwaysВ should tread carefully when they seek to emulate his style. It is hard to imagine two books less like each other than these: Joyce, the great Irish modernist, exploring the limits of language (not to mention the patience and fortitude of his readers) and Hemingway, the great AmericanВ exponent of plain language and tough, terse prose.ДЄnyone who wants a review, analysis, or crib notesВ about The Sun AlsoВ Rises has only to Google for them and there they are in abundance. The Sun Also Rises was Ernest HemingwayвЂ™s first serious success вЂ“ published in 1926, only four years after James JoyceвЂ™s Ulysses.
