Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver on the Italian front during World War I, falls in love with the beautiful British nurse Catherine Barkley. Initially hesitant and still grieving the death of her fiancé, Catherine’s feelings for Frederic become stronger while she helps him recover from a battlefield injury. With the war separating them again and again, will the two lovers manage to escape the conflict and find peace? A Farewell to Arms established Ernest Hemingway as one of the premier American authors of his day, becoming his first best-seller when it was published. With a famous 47 alternate endings, the New York Times review in 1929 called it “a moving and beautiful book", with its depictions of the horrors of war and the powerful love that can bloom despite them.
