Good Narration
I’ve experienced several versions of A Farewell to Arms, and this 2025 narration truly stands out. The narrator delivers Hemingway’s words with a calm, measured tone that respects the simplicity of the text while drawing out its emotional depth. Every pause and subtle shift in pace feels intentional, allowing the story’s themes of love and loss to resonate without any over-dramatization.
Listening to this version felt refreshingly genuine—as if a close friend were guiding me through the narrative rather than reading it aloud. The understated delivery enhances the raw, poignant moments of the story, inviting a reflective and personal connection with Hemingway’s work. It’s an experience that feels honest and true, making it my favorite way to revisit this classic.

A Powerful and Haunting Classic
A Farewell to Arms is a deeply emotional novel that captures the horrors of World War I while telling a tragic yet beautiful love story. Hemingway’s writing is crisp and unembellished, making the emotions even more striking. Frederic Henry’s journey is both personal and universal, reflecting the struggles of love in a world filled with chaos and uncertainty. The novel's ending is haunting and stays with you long after you turn the last page. This is a book that reminds us of the fragility of happiness and the resilience of the human spirit. A true classic that deserves its reputation.

Poor narration- could not finish book
A female narrator in the male character was very hard to follow. Perhaps another narrator would be more appropriate. I stopped the book after 3 chapters when the "love" scenes started
