In 1918, Ernest Hemingway went "to the war that would end all wars." He enlisted as a volunteer ambulance driver, was wounded, and decorated. From these experiences, this novel was born, which many consider his masterpiece. In it, he convincingly recreates the fear, camaraderie, and courage of the young American volunteer and the men and women he meets in Italy. However, "A Farewell to Arms" is not just a war novel.

In it, Hemingway crafts a deeply tragic, passionate, and uncompromising love story - the culmination of the author's three great loves during the years 1918-1929.

But beyond and independent of the purely autobiographical elements contained in this book, the novel pulsates with passion and overwhelming emotions, finding its ideal setting in Italy during the turbulent and relentless years of World War I.
