The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, is considered one of the most important works of the American writer Ernest Hemingway and one of the most representative novels of the new modernist literature published in the United States in the 1920s. The novel was first translated into German in 1928, only two years after Hemingway had written his work. However, the first translation of the novel into Spanish did not appear until 1944, when it was published in Argentina; this one would also be the first translation of The Sun Also Rises to be published in Spain, in 1948. Three more translations followed in 1979, 1983, and 2002. The article provides data on these four translations, reports on the plagiarism of one of them, which was published in Mexico in 1979, and comments on some alternatives to the title Fiesta, the one adopted in most editions of the different translations. The article concludes with a reference to the shortcomings of the translations published to date, notably the poor understanding of the stylistic innovation introduced by the American Nobel laureate.
