In A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway masterfully weaves a tragic romance into the fabric of one of history's most brutal conflicts. Drawing on his own experiences as an ambulance driver in the Italian army, Hemingway tells the unforgettable story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry and his affair with nurse Catherine Barkley-a love both passionate and doomed, born in the shadow of the front lines.
As Frederic witnesses comrades fall and entire ideals shatter beneath artillery fire, his relationship with Catherine becomes his sole sanctuary. But no love can remain untouched in a world ruled by chaos. Their journey through war-torn landscapes, treacherous rivers, and makeshift hospitals is as much a physical escape as a spiritual struggle-a reckoning with fate, courage, and the price of intimacy during times of immense suffering.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Edition:
More than a war novel, this is a human story-of longing, courage, and the quiet ways people fight for meaning when the world around them falls apart.
