Each way, in the short-term, he was wounded by the shame of rejection and cowardice. Either he was rejected for poor eyesight or he failed to enlist and instead joined up as an ambulance driver. The key to Hemingway, the thing that unlocks the most important doors to his creative life, was a deeper, more personal darkness, his complicated experience of the first world war. In addition, The Sun Also Rises, like most novels of the 1920s, is a response to the author’s recent wartime service. At the same time, the escape into the wild is a great American theme that recurs in the works of Hawthorne, Melville, and Twain (Nos 16, 17 and 23 in this series). For some critics, the heart of the novel is the bullfight, and how each character responds to the experience of the corrida. The novel, a roman à clef describing an anguished love affair between the expatriate American war veteran Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley, a femme fatale representative in the writer’s mind of 1920s womanhood, is mostly located in Spain, Hemingway’s favourite country. It was also the setting for the first section of Hemingway’s first, and best, novel (published in the UK as Fiesta).

Daily shipboard routine, smoky 1740 London and the Indian community in Chile are all finely detailed. The Wager is shipwrecked off Patagonia, and the largest part of the narrative details the hardships of the diminishing band of survivors on that inhospitable shore. One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. Originally published in England in 1959 and based on British Commodore Anson's 1740 circumnavigation of the world (as was O'Brian's The Golden Ocean), this is the story of HMS Wager, a ship separated from Anson's squadron while sailing around Cape Horn. O'Brian's loyal following for the Aubrey/Maturin historical nautical adventure novels (The Wine-Dark Sea, etc.) has swelled from a cult to a legion of readers thus there are many who will welcome this predecessor to that well-received series.
