A young American volunteers for the Italian ambulance service in the First World War. Up near the front, he meets and falls in love with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse.
The events of war lead to disillusionment: he is wounded in the knee by a shell, and later, just by taking part in a general retreat, he comes near to being shot by the Italian "battle police".
So he decides do desert - and take Catherine with him to Switzerland...

"A Farewell to Arms" is an unforgettable description of war - fashioned from Hemingway's own experiences. He depicts the fear, the chaos, the comradeship and the courage with total conviction. But "A Farewell to Arms" is also a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion.

"A novel of great power." - TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

"Hard, almost metallic, glittering, blinding by the reflections of its hard surface, utterly free of sentimentality." - ARNOLD BENNETT

"Exceptional gift of narrative quality." - THE GUARDIAN

To ciente que eh um classico do autor mas eu fui pela review de outras pessoas que disseram que se acabaram de chorar, que o livro mudou a vida delas. eu nao tava esperando nenhuma mudança na minha vida mas eu realmente esperava um livro mais impactante. faz tempo que foi escrito mas os dialogos me deixavam confusa, porem foi tudo bem escrito.
