A Farewell to Arms (Paperback-2023)

About Book: Hemingway's words strike you, each one, as if they were pebbles fetched fresh from a book.' In A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway's most celebrated novel, his stark and emotive style of writing reaches its zenith. The plot follows the doomed love between American medic, Frederic Henry, and English nurse Catherine Barkley, brought together in the violent backdrop of World War I, in the Italian countryside. At once an intense and tragic love story, as an unglamorized account of wartime violence and suffering, A Farewell to Arms has stood the test of time. Almost a century after its first publication, it remains one of the greatest modern wartime love stories ever told.

About Author: Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist who won the Nobel Prize in Literature (1954) and the Pulitzer Prize in fiction (1953) for his masterpiece Old Man and the Sea. His father was a doctor, and he was the second of six children. Their home vas at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb. Hemingway proposed the 'iceberg' theory which represents how readers only perceive characters like the tip of the iceberg, whereas the bulk of ice underneath are symbols found only in the writer's knowledge. He mastered the art of Modern Narration in the post-war period. Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time, but it was the satirical novel The Torrents of Spring that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books: Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms. Old Man and the Sea (1952) was Hemingway's last work.
