Fiesta: The sun also rises d'Ernest Hemingway

4ème de couverture:
Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, but with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change.
When the couple drifts to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heavy atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never posses the woman he loves.
Powerful, intense, visually magnificent, Fiesta is the novel which established Ernest Hemingway as a writer of genius.


Un roman rapide à lire, intense, qui rompt avec une tradition littéraire du style pour offrir un rythme en adéquation avec l'histoire. Les personnages sont attachants et repoussants tout à la fois, représentatifs des années folles et des pulsions morbides ou sexuelles animant les contemporains d'Hemingway.
