About This Novel
"A Farewell to Arms" is a masterpiece by Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize. The hero and heroine of the story met in a small town in northern Italy during the war. An American lieutenant who volunteered to join the Italian camp and a Scottish nurse from the Red Cross fell in love with each other. The war almost destroyed their love, but the injured lieutenant was saved from death after a shelling. The two reunited in a hospital in Milan and spent a rare sweet time together. The lieutenant who returned to the battlefield had doubts about the meaning of war, and witnessed the annihilation of humanity during the retreat. He did not hesitate to return to his lover at all costs... This work, written by Hemingway in Paris, is the practice of Hemingway's famous "journalistic" writing and "iceberg theory". "Vicious" critic Ford Madox Ford commented Regarding this work, "Every word directly touches the heart. It is as if pebbles were taken directly from the creek, so vibrant and shiny, staying in their respective positions." This publication is a full translation of the 1948 SCRIBNER final version without abridgement. J. K. Rowling and McCullers translator Mr. Lou Wuting were specially invited to carefully translate and annotate it. It contains a selection of Hemingway's image archives and a long author's preface from Hemingway's twenty-year reprint to help you better understand the classics.
