A Farewell to Arms

Autor Ernest Hemingway
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2025
Rain lashes the Italian front as artillery thunders in the distance, and two souls cling to each other amid the chaos of World War One. Against a backdrop of mud-soaked trenches and uncertain loyalties, a wounded American ambulance driver and a British nurse are swept into a love story forged in the crucible of wartime Europe. The atmosphere is tense, charged with the dread and longing that only a modernist war fiction can evoke, where every heartbeat and whispered promise is shadowed by the threat of loss. This anti war novel captures the stark realities of twentieth century conflict, painting a portrait of the human spirit tested by both violence and passion. The narrative immerses readers in the desperate hope and fleeting tenderness that arise when love is found in the darkest of times. Through spare, evocative prose, the story explores the fragile sanctuary two people build for themselves as the world around them unravels, echoing the disillusionment and searching spirit of the lost generation. Set against the haunting landscapes of the European war setting, the novel's power lies in its unsparing depiction of the costs of war and the resilience of those who endure it. The Italy world war setting is rendered with haunting precision: rain-soaked fields, candlelit hospital wards, and the ever-present spectre of fate. This is not merely a war romance fiction, but a tragic love novel that lingers long after the final page, probing the boundaries between duty and desire, hope and despair.

Notă biografică

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

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.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In 1918 Ernest Hemingway went to war, to the 'war to end all wars'. He volunteered for ambulance service in Italy, was wounded and twice decorated. Out of his experiences came A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway's description of war is unforgettable. He recreates the fear, the comradeship, the courage of his young American volunteer and the men and women he meets in Italy with total conviction. But A Farewell to Arms is not only a novel of war. In it Hemingway has also created a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.
