The Scum Also Rises. To be fair I hate all Hemingway. I seem to remember it was about some expatriates wasting their time in Spain doing nothing except getting drunk, going to bullfights, etc. I neither hated nor liked the characters; I just didn't care. Fortunately, like all Hemingway, you can read it with no more than a sixth grade education, so it goes fast. ( ![]() The characters were all so obnoxious and annoying. But I guess that was his point. I'm not sure what to think about this book. I'm a little torn. Hemingway's writing feels like he goes on about a lot of unnecessary actions repeatedly... ...but for whatever reason that works. There's some humor in the writing and he builds the scenes well. I really like his style, even when it seems slow. Brett (the primary female character) is a good example of women's newfound freedom in the early 1900s. She can bob her hair, get divorced, and be with whoever she wants... ...but she's AWFUL. That kind of women's lib doesn't translate well after nearly a century. Brett has freedom, she's friendly and forgiving -without any morality or loyalty. I haaated her. (And the few other female characters are no good either.) The main character seems to be homophobic and anti-semitic... ...but maybe not. Some of it seems to be just commentary, though Jake does seem to mention Cohn is a Jew an awful lot. Is he saying that Cohn is an outcast BECAUSE he's a Jew? That's really messed up, if so. And maybe Jake is only frustrated with gay men because he's insecure about his war injury. There were interesting descriptions of Spain and bullfighting, and it provided a lot of insight to something I know little about... ...but ew. I don't like bullfighting, and sometimes those descriptions got a little too gruesome. (Cutting off the bull's ear and giving it to your honey as a souvenir? Ick!) The story reads like a boy's week-o-partying. It's a fun tale at face value with a lot of background indications, and that is well done... ...but they drink a lot. A LOT. Almost amazingly so. I don't know if I've ever encountered a book with SO many mentions of alcohol. I'm kind of impressed. I think my main problem is that I'm having trouble identifying why this is such a classic book. Possibly it just has trouble holding up, or possibly I'm missing something. the book ramble on about the love between Jake and Brett, whom did not really say much to each other about it until the very end, aimless in Spain traveling , drinking and partying , was not my cup of tea but I understand the undercurrent and the simplicity with which Hemmingway writes , he is genious but the book seemed so sad and a bit of depressive characters that don't seem to have any aim in life Thoughts while listening to this book: -Memories of Spain and trying to imagine it in the 1920s (Madrid is easiest, but I probably still pictured it very wrong). -How does Hemingway put so much imagery and emotion into such straightforward statements? -These characters are about my grandparents' parents ages, and it gives me vertigo to think of them young like this and trying to figure out life.
Published in 1926 to explosive acclaim, The Sun Also Rises stands as perhaps the most impressive first novel ever written by an American writer. A roman à clef about a group of American and English expatriates on an excursion from Paris's Left Bank to Pamplona for the July fiesta and its climactic bull fight, a journey from the center of a civilization spiritually bankrupted by the First World War to a vital, God-haunted world in which faith and honor have yet to lose their currency, the novel captured for the generation that would come to be called "Lost" the spirit of its age, and marked Ernest Hemingway as the preeminent writer of his time No amount of analysis can convey the quality of "The Sun Also Rises." It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame. Mr. Hemingway knows how not only to make words be specific but how to arrange a collection of words which shall betray a great deal more than is to be found in the individual parts. It is magnificent writing, filled with that organic action which gives a compelling picture of character. This novel is unquestionably one of the events of an unusually rich year in literature.

Paris, années 1920. Jake Barnes, journaliste américain, retrouve la belle et frivole Lady Ashley, perdue dans une quête effrénée d'amants. Nous les suivons, s'abîmant dans l'alcool, des bars parisiens aux arènes espagnoles, en passant par les ruisseaux à truites des Pyrénées. Leurs compagnons, Robert Cohn, Michael Campbell, sont autant d'hommes à la dérive, marqués au fer rouge par la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans un style limpide, d'une efficacité redoutable, Hemingway dépeint le Paris des écrivains de l'entre-deux-guerres et les fameuses fêtes de San Fermín. Ses héros, oscillant sans cesse entre mal de vivre et jouissance de l'instant présent, sont devenus les emblèmes de cette génération que Gertrude Stein qualifia de "perdue". (4e de couv.)
