A Farewell to Arms

by Ernest Hemingway

An American ambulance driver serving in World War I Italy finds love with a British nurse amid the chaos and disillusionment of the front. Their romance becomes a desperate attempt to create meaning and sanctuary against the senseless machinery of war. Hemingway's spare, precise prose captures both the brutality of combat and the fragile beauty of human connection in his masterpiece of modernist fiction.
