Publisher Description
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).
Customer Reviews
Perfect!
I generally don’t care for love stories. However, this was one of the most poetic, well written novels I have ever read. It is made all the more beautiful by John Slattery‘s narration.
Fantastic!
A very strong narration of a great American novel. John Slattery does an outstanding job bringing this text to life. I strongly recommend this reading.
