First printing ("stoppped"), rebound in full crimson morocco leather
Publisher and Year: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1926
Edition: First edition, first printing, with the title page dated 1926 and the "stoppped" misspelling present on page 181 (none of the other commonly cited typographic errors are relevant). Lacking the scarce jacket. One of 5,090 copies. Bibliographic references: Hanneman A6a, Grissom A61b.
Condition and Description: Octavo, rebound in full crimson morocco stamped in gilt by Starr Bookworks, with black leather spine labels and hand-marbled endpapers. 259 pp. No prior owner's markings. Pages lightly tanned. Occasional unfolded corners, creases, thumbsoiling, and minor staining, with representative examples shown. The last two leaves of the text are roughly opened, with marginal losses to the fore-edge, not affecting the text. Bottom edge stained near the gutter, not intruding except for about 1 mm into the margin of the last page of text. Top edge of text block darkened.
“I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it.”
The Sun Also Rises introduced Hemingway’s pared-down prose and stoic emotional restraint, setting a new standard for American fiction. The novel established his voice and reputation overnight, capturing the disillusionment of the Lost Generation with clarity and force. Ranked #45 on the Modern Library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century, it remains a foundational work of modernist literature and one of Hemingway’s most enduring achievements.
