A Farewell to Arms

Ernest Hemingway's semi-autobiographical masterpiece is one of the greatest war novels ever written. Set on the Italian front during World War I, it tells the story of Frederic Henry, an American serving as an ambulance driver in the Italian army, and his passionate love affair with Catherine Barkley, an English nurse. As the war grinds on with senseless brutality—captured in Hemingway's stark, revolutionary prose—the lovers attempt to escape the chaos and build a life together, only to confront the indifferent cruelty of fate. A devastating meditation on love, war, and loss that defined a generation. A Raven's Gate Classics edition with haunting new cover art.
