A Farewell to Arms

The novel A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield, readers will find Ernest Hemingway's semiautobiographical work to be both gripping and moving. Although he admitted to rewriting the ending thirty-nine times, Hemingway's hard work paid off: The Nobel Prize Committee named him the recipient of the prize in 1954 in recognition of his mastery of the art of fiction.
