A Farewell to Arms
Drawing on Hemingway’s own experiences as a WWI ambulance driver, A Farwell to Arms paints a vivid picture of the horrors of war, juxtaposed with the struggles involved in making love work.
The novel, one of the best to come out of The Great War, follows ambulance driver Frederic Henry, his experiences and travails on the Italian front, and his relationship with Catherine Barkely. At the same time brilliant, beautiful, and bleak, despite being one of Hemingway’s earliest novels it still showcases a true master at work.
Ernest Hemingway is a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and Pulitzer Prize.

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) was born in Illinois and began his career as a reporter before enlisting as an ambulance driver at the Italian front in World War I. Hemingway and his first (of four) wives lived in Paris in the 1920s, as part of the "Lost Generation" expatriate community, before moving to Key West, Florida, and later to Cuba. Known first for short stories, he sealed his literary reputation with his novels, including The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea.
