About The Book
Hemingway's words strike you, each one, as if they were pebbles fetched fresh from a book.'
In A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway's most celebrated novel, his stark and emotive style of writing reaches its zenith. The plot follows the doomed love between American medic, Frederic Henry, and English nurse Catherine Barkley, brought together in the violent backdrop of World War I, in the Italian countryside. At once an intense and tragic love story, as an unglamorized account of wartime violence and suffering, A Farewell to Arms has stood the test of time. Almost a century after its first publication, it remains one of the greatest modern wartime love stories ever told.
