A Farewell to Arms

By Ernest Hemingway
A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Hemingway demonstrates his “flawless . . . mastery of narrative” in this classic autobiographical story of love in the midst of war (Edna O’Brien, The Guardian).

During the First World War, Ernest Hemingway volunteered to serve in Italy as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. His harrowing experience served as the basis and inspiration for his novel A Farewell to Arms, one of the most celebrated works of American literature.

Here is the timeless tale of Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front, and his love for the English nurse Catherine Barkley. Through their epic journey, Hemingway vividly captures the horrors of combat, the healing power of love, and the haunting memories so many carry home with them.
