About The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms - Two Classics by Ernest Hemingway - Unabridged

Collected here are two early novels by one of the 20th century's greatest writers, the legendary Ernest Hemingway. By 1926, Hemingway was best known for his short fiction, but was finally ready to make the leap into writing novels. His first attempt was "The Sun Also Rises" which exploded onto the literary scene and cemented his reputation as one of the finest young writers in America. The novel tells the story of a small group of British and American expatriates who travel from Paris to Pamplona, Spain to attend the Festival of San Fermin, check out the bullfights and witness the infamous running of the bulls. Three years later, Hemingway struck gold again with the release of "A Farewell to Arms," a semi-autobiographical tale recounting the experiences of a young American who signs up to become an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. After suffering a crippling injury, the American falls in love with an English nurse and, as their relationship deepens, the two lovers attempt to escape the war-torn country and find peace together in Switzerland. Required reading for any Hemingway aficionado, these two complete novels are presented here in their original and unabridged format and narrated by renowned audiobook performer Joseph Wycoff.
