Review

"Remarkable, startling, disquieting" (Spectator)

"Some of the finest and most restrained writing that this generation has produced" (New York World)

"Hemingway captures atmosphere by reticence and breathes life into his characters by pages left unsaid... It is American; it is literature; and it is a first novel by a genius" (Evening News)

"It is a truly gripping story, told in a lean, hard, athletic narrative prose that puts more literary English to shame . . . This novel is unquestionably one of the events of an unusually rich year in literature" (New York Times (1926))

From the Publisher

Powerful, intense, visually magnificent, Fiesta is the novel which established Ernest Hemingway as a writer of genius.
