A Farewell to Arms (Everyman's Library Contemporary Classics Series)

A Contemporary Classics hardcover edition of Hemingway’s masterpiece—a classic novel of World War I that is also a tender, haunting love story

Ernest Hemingway drew from his own war experiences when he crafted this remarkable story of an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front and his love for a beautiful English nurse. The novel, Hemingway’s first bestseller, is marked by vivid depictions of the horrors of the battlefield—but also by the heartrending vicissitudes of a passionate affair of the heart between his protagonists, Frederic and Catherine, leading up to a tragic ending that is all the more powerful for its famously understated expression.
