Product Description
In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to the 'war to end all wars'. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experience came A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's description of war is unforgettable. He recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer, and the men and women he meets in Italy, with total conviction. But A Farewell to Arms is not only a novel of war. In it Hemingway has also created a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

A Nicely Printed Edition, 2008-10-31
A Farewell to Arms is a sentimental downer, reread after the onset of adulthood. It's a tale from which teenagers can learn depressing and disorienting notions of heroism and futility. This is the very same edition I read in the late 1950s, when I was a teenager. I liked it moderately well then, though I thought it was affected and manneristic in style. I've liked it less every time I've looked at it since, but it is the best of H's novels and will continue to excite new readers into the foreseeable future. I hope they will be wise enough to see through the mystique.
