A Farewell to Arms

Ernest 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.

Key Themes:

• Fear, Comradeship, and Courage
  Recreating the raw emotions 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.
• A Love Story of Immense Drama
  At its heart, this is also a love story filled with uncompromising passion and immense drama.

Praise for A Farewell to Arms:

• "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
