A Farewell to Arms
Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms visits Frederic Henry, an American in the Italian army during World War I, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse who falls in love with Henry after her fiancé's death in battle. Ernest Hemingway is honest about war, including its deserters, injury, incompetent leadership, and prostitution at the front. A Farewell to Arms is perhaps the best novel written about World War I and at the same time one of the most affecting love stories ever told.
