A Farewell to Arms

One of Hemingway’s finest novels, A Farewell to Arms was published in 1929 when the author was at the height of his powers. It draws on his experiences serving with the Italians in World War One when he was severely wounded in action and awarded the Croce de Guerra. This is a vivid portrait of men at war which also explores their deeper responses to the cruelty and heroism of battle.
