内容简介
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 heady
atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is strained by new
passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will
never possess the woman he loves.
作者简介
Ernest Miller Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899 as the son
of a doctor and the second of six children. After a stint as an
ambulance driver at the Italian front, Hemingway came home to
America in 1919, only to return to the battlefield - this time as a
reporter on the Greco-Turkish war - in 1922. Resigning from
journalism to focus on his writing instead, he moved to Paris where
he renewed his earlier friendship with fellow American expatriates
such as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Through the years, Hemingway
travelled widely and wrote avidly, becoming an internationally
recognized literary master of his craft. He received the Nobel
Prize for Literature in 1954, following the publication of The Old
Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.
