Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home.
Fiesta captures this intoxicating era, portraying a passionate tapestry of love and desire. In the heart of Paris, amidst the lavish lifestyle, Jake finds himself deeply in love with Brett Ashley. She is an aristocratic, irresistibly beautiful woman, possessing an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change.

About the Author
Ernest Hemingway was born in Chicago in 1899, the second of six children. In 1917, he joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922 he reported on the Greco-Turkish war, then resigned from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris, associating with other expatriates like Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing. His direct and deceptively simple style spawned generations of imitators but no equals. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, and died in 1961
