Quote of the Day

“How did you go bankrupt?" Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

- Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises

The basis for the novel, The Sun Also Rises, was Hemingway's trip to Spain in 1925. The setting was unique and memorable, depicting sordid café life in Paris and the excitement of the Pamplona festival, with a middle section devoted to descriptions of a fishing trip in the Pyrenees.
