A Farewell to Arms (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
ByPublisher Description
A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse during World War I. Hemingway's frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of a decisive battle-of lines of tired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized-is one of the most striking moments in literary history.
A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, this gripping, semi-autobiographical work is a testament to Hemingway's unwavering commitment to truth in storytelling. Hemingway's terse, economical style reflects a disciplined pursuit of authentic expression, as he strives to make words correspond to experience. Hemingway refuses to romanticize war or sentimentalize relationships. Instead, he presents an honest view of the physical and emotional toll of war, and the often complicated nature of love. With the publication of A Farewell To Arms Hemingway passed beyond fame into living legend and gave us a book of lasting importance. This Warbler Classics edition includes a new afterword by NYU University Professor Ulrich Baer.
