Farewell to Arms

Description

Ernest’s Hemingway’s powerful autobiographical story of war.

‘I don’t live at all when I’m not with you’

In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experience came A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway’s unforgettable war novel.

Recreating the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer, and the men and women he meets in Italy, this is a story of war told with simplicity and immediacy. It is also a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

‘A novel of great power’ Times Literary Supplement

‘In these troubled times Hemingway’s clarity, spirituality and sense of hard reality in the midst of confusion is very helpful’ Sunday Telegraph
