Hemingway’s Enduring Classic
Written when he was only only thirty years old, Ernest Hemmingway’s classic novel of love during a time of war was heralded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I.
This semiautobiographical tale features an American ambulance driver, Lieutenant Frederic Henry, stationed on the Italian front, who falls in love with Catherine Barkley, a beautiful English nurse. Set against the horrors of war on the battlefield, with tired, demoralized men facing the German attack on Caporetto, Hemingway unforgettably captures their despair as well as the pain of lovers caught in the harsh realities of war, which threaten to pull them apart.
A Farewell to Arms is an unforgettable tale of love and pain, loyalty and desertion. With sparing prose and a realistic account of the pain and intensity of a love overshadowed by the creep of global war was Hemingway’s first best-seller. The novel has been adapted a number of times: initially for the stage in 1930; as a film in 1932, and 1957; and as a three-part television miniseries in 1966. The 1996 film In Love and War, depicts Hemingway's life in Italy as an ambulance driver in events prior to his writing A Farewell to Arms.

Story
Frederic Henry is an American ambulance driver in the Italian army during World War One. We follow Frederic throughout his role in the war, and his evolving relationship with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse he meets while recovering from an injury. As their romance deepens, they find themselves facing not just the chaos of war, but the threat of loss and separation. Their bond is tested as Henry is sent back to the front lines, where he witnesses the brutalities of war and the toll it takes on both soldiers and civilians.

Story
Frederic Henry is an American lieutenant of an ambulance corps serving in the Italian front of World War I. During his service he meets Catherine Barkley, an English nurse who goes on to work closely with him. As the relationship between Frederic and Catherine develops, the novel follows the effects the war has on them and those around them. But the war is not the centerpiece of the book; rather, it serves more as a background and plot device for the growth of the characters’ interpersonal relationships.
