The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway's debut novel and a touchstone work of 20th century literature. His story expertly distills the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I 'Lost Generation,' as it traces its characters' path from Paris to the festival of San Fermín in Pamplona.

Century Press is proud to present the first edition thus, first letterpress printing of 500 hand-numbered copies of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.

    • New introduction by Daniel Hannah, Professor of Literature at Lakehead University

    Note: Our leather bindings are made from the honest hide of an animal. You're getting the real deal: full-grain leather, considered the best and highest quality leather available. Be aware that this type of leather can be naturally marked with features from each animal like creases, wrinkles, and insect bites. This means that no Century Press book will look exactly the same.

    Great, tactile book

    I love the whole execution. The book is relatively small, but that makes it an excellent reading copy. I do put this in my bag and go sit in the park to read. CPs books want to be read. And treasured at the same time. That makes my time with them all the more valuable and memorable.

    Very refined book

    Very refined book. You can see the high quality of the materials from the very first look at the cover, and when you open the book it’s again a splendor.
