A Farewell to Arms

Ernest Hemingway’s classic World War I novel 'A Farewell to Arms' chronicles the story of Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front, and his ill-fated romance with Catherine Barkley, an English nurse. This new edition features a personal foreword by Hemingway's son, and a new introduction by his grandson, that provide a more intimate look into the man behind the words. In addition to including all 39 of Hemingway's alternate endings, readers get a glimpse at his creative process, seeing how one of the world's greatest writers articulated his vision in different ways. Hemingway's writing is direct and visceral, a reflection of the wartime atrocities he witnessed firsthand. Through understated prose and sparse dialogue, he captures the harsh realities of the war and the complexities of love in a way that is both heartbreaking and enduring.
