    100 Years of The Sun Also Rises

    One hundred years ago Scribner published The Sun Also Rises for the first time. Twenty-six-year-old Ernest Hemingway had written the first draft in six weeks in the cafés of Montparnasse, surrounded by the real people who would become its characters. This year, the Hemingway family marks that anniversary through the estate's continued work to bring Hemingway's writing to new readers.
