<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>By turns romantic and harshly realistic, Hemingway's story of a tragic romance set against the brutality and confusion of World War I cemented his fame as a stylist and as a writer of extraordinary literary power. A volunteer ambulance driver and a beautiful English nurse fall in love when he is wounded on the Italian front.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Ernest Hemingway's classic novel of love during wartime. </b> <p/>Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. <p/>Hemingway famously rewrote the ending to <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> thirty-nine times to get the words right. A classic novel of love during wartime, "<i>A Farewell to Arms</i> stands, more than eighty years after its first appearance, as a towering ornament of American literature" (<i>The Washington Times</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I think <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> is Hemingway's greatest novel, the truest. It's also heartbreaking."<br> <b>--Edna O'Brien</b> <p/>"We can't seem to stop using a certain kind of elevated, heroic language about war and it is our duty always to puncture it. No one has ever done that as eloquently as Hemingway, through the accumulating weight of his sentences, and the emotional clarity, the disgust and also the reverence for what has been done." <br> <b>--Tobias Wolff</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time.
