A Farewell To Arms

Beskrivelse

A Farewell to Arms tells the powerful tale of an American ambulance driver stationed on the Italian front during World War I and his intense love for an English nurse. This classic novel, written by Ernest Hemingway at just thirty years old, is widely regarded as one of the finest American works to come out of the Great War.

A gripping, semi-autobiographical story of love and war set against the brutal realities of the battlefield.

Set amidst the grim backdrop of war, the narrative captures the bleakness of soldiers trudging through rain during the German offensive at Caporetto and explores the deep conflict between loyalty and desertion. Hemingway’s semi-autobiographical novel vividly portrays the harshness of combat and the heartache experienced by lovers caught in its relentless grasp.

Hemingway famously rewrote the ending of A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to perfect the conclusion. This special edition brings together all the alternative endings for the very first time, along with early drafts of key passages, providing a unique glimpse into Hemingway’s creative process and the development of this twentieth-century masterpiece.

Included in this edition are the Nobel Prize-winning author’s own 1948 introduction to an illustrated reissue, a heartfelt foreword by his son Patrick Hemingway, and a fresh introduction by his grandson Sean Hemingway, making this collection a true tribute to the enduring legacy of the novel.
