Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as
the best American novel to emerge from World War I, "A Farewell to
Arms "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--weary,
demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on
Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and
desertion--this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the
harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its
inexorable sweep.
Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to "A
Farewell to Arms "thirty-nine times to get the words right. This
edition collects all of the alternative endings together for the
first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages,
offering new insight into Hemingway's craft and creative process
and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth
century. Featuring Hemingway's own 1948 introduction to an
illustrated reissue of the novel, a personal foreword by the
author's son Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the
author's grandson Sean Hemingway, this edition of "A Farewell to
Arms "is truly a celebration.
