'A novel of great power' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
In 1918 Ernest Hemingway enlisted to fight in the 'war to end all wars'. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experiences came A Farewell to Arms.
In an unforgettable depiction of war, Hemingway recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteers and the men and women he encounters along the way with conviction and brutal honesty. A love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion, A Farewell to Arms is a testament to Hemingway's unique and unflinching view of the world and the people around him.
'Hard, almost metallic, glittering, blinding by the reflections of its hard surface, utterly free of sentimentality' ARNOLD BENNETT
