Farewell to Arms

The greatest American novel to emerge from World War I, "A Farewell to Arms" cemented Ernest Hemingway's reputation as one of the most important novelists of the twentieth century. Drawn largely from Hemingway's own experiences, it is the story of a volunteer ambulence driver wounded on the Italian front, the beautiful British nurse with whom he falls in love, and their journey to find some small sanctuary in a world gone mad with war. By turns beautiful and tragic, tender and harshly realistic, "A Farewell to Artms" is one of the supreme literary achievements of our time.
