A Farewell to Arms

Set against the backdrop of World War I, Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms tells the story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian army, and his passionate love affair with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. As the brutality of war closes in, their romance becomes both refuge and rebellion, a fragile sanctuary in a world unraveling.

With spare, unflinching prose, Hemingway crafts a timeless meditation on love, loss, and the futility of war. First published in 1929, A Farewell to Arms remains one of the most powerful novels of the twentieth century-at once an intimate love story and a haunting portrait of the human cost of conflict.
