War brings them together. Fate tears them apart.
Set against the brutal backdrop of World War I, A Farewell to Arms follows Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian army, and his passionate love affair with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. What begins as a fragile escape from the chaos of war quickly turns into a powerful, tragic romance that neither of them can outrun.
Hemingway’s writing is sharp, stripped down, and emotionally raw—capturing both the horror of battle and the quiet beauty of love in its most vulnerable form.
More than a war novel, this is a story about courage, loss, and the unbearable choices we make when everything is at stake.
Timeless, unforgettable, and deeply human, A Farewell to Arms is one of Hemingway’s greatest achievements—and essential reading for lovers of classic fiction, historical drama, and stories that linger long after the final page.
