Ernest Hemingway Poster Set: The Old Man and the Sea, The Sun Also Rises & A Farewell to Arms

For readers who return again and again to Hemingway's spare, unflinching prose, this trio brings together three of his defining works. Hung as a set, they trace a writer's lifelong preoccupation with courage, love and loss, rendered in clean, considered artwork worthy of the pages that inspired it.

Why these three belong together

Each of these novels finds Hemingway's characters tested to their limits, whether by nature, war or their own restless hearts. Together they span three decades of his career and show the range beneath his famously economical style, from a solitary battle at sea to the wreckage and resilience of the interwar years.

The Old Man and the Sea (1952)

An ageing fisherman sets out alone for the biggest catch of his life, and finds himself locked in a battle against the sea, his own body and time itself. It is a slim, quietly devastating story about dignity in the face of struggle, and it remains one of Hemingway's most beloved works.

The Sun Also Rises (1926)

A group of disillusioned expatriates drift from the cafes of Paris to the bullrings of Spain, drinking and loving their way around the wounds left by the First World War. This was the novel that defined the Lost Generation, capturing a restless, wandering search for meaning after unimaginable loss.

A Farewell to Arms (1929)

An American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front falls into a passionate, doomed love affair with an English nurse amid the chaos of the First World War. Drawing on Hemingway's own wartime experience, it remains one of the twentieth century's great novels of love set against conflict.

Styling your Hemingway wall

This set works beautifully in a study, hallway or reading corner where its understated tones can quietly hold the room. Choose the Modern or Modern Minimalist style for a crisp, contemporary look, the Square style for neat, gallery-style symmetry, or the Watercolour style if you would like a softer, more atmospheric finish. Frame all three in oak for a warm, classic feel, black for something bolder and more graphic, or white to keep the focus on the artwork itself. However you display them, remember that any three prints qualify for our buy 3, save 20% offer, so this is the perfect moment to bring the whole set home together.
