Set against the backdrop of the Pamplona bull-running festival, it follows a group of expatriate Americans and British in post-war Paris and Spain, exploring themes of disillusionment, masculinity, and the search for meaning in a world stripped of certainty. The novel's spare, declarative prose style revolutionised 20th century fiction and its influence on subsequent generations of writers is immeasurable. This 1954 Jonathan Cape re-issue — with two striking dust jackets and a charming Estonian gift inscription from Bradford, December 1956 — is a copy with genuine character and period warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Cape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53999736914260,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/5972\/1556\/files\/fiesta-ernest-hemingway-1600x1600-0192.jpg?v=1774281075","url":"https:\/\/www.alexanderdavidfinebooks.co.uk\/products\/fiesta-ernest-hemingway-jonathan-cape-1954-re-issue-with-estonian-gift-inscription-bradford-1956","provider":"Alexander David Fine Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
