The catalogue was pointing me to 'Fiesta : the sun also rises' and I thought that was not what I wanted.
In 1927 Jonathan Cape published the novel in London under the title Fiesta. A year after the US had it as The Sun Also Rises .
As to why the titles differ ... I dont know. The AI of Google says 'Changed to The Sun Also Rises to emphasize themes of endurance and the enduring nature of the earth, as stated in the biblical passage, rather than just the decadence of the characters'. But that doesnt seem convincing to me.
This might help from Duck.ai: The documented exchange is:
Hemingway told editor Maxwell Perkins the novel’s title came from Ecclesiastes 1:5 (“the sun also ariseth”).
Perkins did ask for revisions; Hemingway made some edits but resisted larger structural changes Perkins proposed.
Hemingway defended the novel’s tone and endings as intentional; he did not describe it as deliberately leaving readers hopeless in order to avoid Perkins’ requests.
Primary evidence comes from their correspondence and publishing history: Perkins pushed for cuts and smoothing; Hemingway accepted some but maintained the book’s austere, often bleak tone and the Ecclesiastes epigraph as appropriate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Cape saw the title Fiesta as more relevant to European readers since it takes place mostly in Spain and uses the power of the Spanish word in its title.
