About the book
A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse during World War I. Hemingway's frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto-of lines of tired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized-is one of the most striking moments in literary history. A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, this gripping, semiautobiographical work is a testament to Hemingway's unwavering commitment to truth in storytelling. Hemingway's terse, economical style reflects a disciplined pursuit of accuracy in expression, as he strives to make words correspond to experience. Hemingway refuses to romanticize war or sentimentalize relationships. Instead, he presents an honest view of the physical and emotional toll of war, and the often complicated nature of deeply meaningful love. By doing so, Hemingway fulfills what he considered the writer's primary duty: to tell the truth. Deeply personal and powerfully resonant, A Farewell To Arms is a classic novel of twentieth-century American Literature.
