A Farewell to Arms, originally published in 1929, is a poignant novel set against the backdrop of World War I. The story follows Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver serving in the Italian army, and his tumultuous romance with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. Through Hemingway's signature sparse prose and vivid imagery, the novel explores themes of love, loss, duty, and the futility of war. Both a gripping war narrative and a deeply emotional love story, A Farewell to Arms remains one of Hemingway's most acclaimed works, reflecting the disillusionment of a generation scarred by conflict.
