Farewell, Weapons
About This Novel
In the late stages of World War I, American young man Frederick Henry volunteered to drive an ambulance for the Red Cross and rescue the wounded on the northern Italian front. During a mission, Henry was hit by a cannonball and injured. While recovering from his injuries in a Milan hospital, he was cared for by British nurse Catherine, and the two fell in love. After recovering from his injuries, Henry returned to the front line. When he retreated with the Italian troops, he witnessed the cruel scenes of the war. He resolutely left the army, joined Catherine and fled to Switzerland. As a result, Catherine died in childbirth. "A Farewell to Arms" has a strong autobiographical flavor. It is a sad and moving elegy sung by Hemingway based on his own experience in the war, with war and love as the main line. The novel has been adapted onto the screen many times and can be called a classic of modern literature.
