Overview
Ernest Hemingway's classic novel of love during wartime. Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, 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. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Hemingway famously rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right. A classic novel of love during wartime, "A Farewell to Arms stands, more than eighty years after its first appearance, as a towering ornament of American literature" (The Washington Times).

A Farewell to Arms
ZOFIA H. - 5 years 3 months agoA classic, a well told story of the new 20th century man.

Painfully honest
Zaynab A. - 6 years agoA Farewell to Arms embodies human imperfection to a T. From war to irrational human attachment, the novel follows two character that you are not really rooting for but understand and thus connect to nonetheless. This book was banned in Italy for its painfully vivid depiction of Italy's retreat from Caporetto. #BannedBook #RequiredReading

Run to This Book with Open Arms
K C. - 6 years 5 months agoAn absolutely wonderful read. Hemingway's seemingly simplistic writing hides deep meaning beneath, and this book, no matter how many times I read it, makes me smile, laugh, and cry. The ending is one of the most haunting ones out there.
