In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to 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.
