Book Description:

Published when Hemingway was just thirty, A FAREWELL TO ARMS confirmed his stature as the greatest single influence on the American short story and novel.

The best American novel to emerge out of World War I, A FAREWELL TO ARMS is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his love for a beautiful English nurse. 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 - lines of tired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized - bears comparion to Stendhal's depiction of the retreat from Waterloo.
