A farewell to arms

A Farewell to Arms is Ernest Hemingway's classic novel of love and war.

Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story follows Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front. When he is wounded, he falls in love with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. Their romance unfolds in the midst of chaos, retreat, and loss.

Hemingway's spare, powerful prose captures the brutality of war and the tenderness of human connection. The novel asks hard questions about loyalty, courage, and the meaning of life when everything seems to fall apart.

This is a story about what we hold onto when there is nothing left.

Published in 1929, A Farewell to Arms is now in the public domain in the United States.
