Publisher Description
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.

About Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
