Explanation As Books A Farewell to Arms

A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield - the weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion—this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep. Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote his ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right.

Criticism Out Of Books A Farewell to Arms

Once, there was a time when I would have struggled through this one, convinced that since it was a "classic", there must be some redeeming quality to it. I'd have struggled to the bitter end, hating it more and more, and I'd have been disappointed by it even if there was something worthwhile at the end. Because getting there was tedious, boring, painful, and annoying. This book has a lot of very varied reviews and opinions. Lots of people loved it, lots of people hated it. I can see why. It's a

This one is pretty classic in nature. The novel set mainly in Wharton Itlay of 1917-18, the story focuses on Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver for the Italian army. He met a young English nurse, Catherine Barkley, at a military hospital and they begin a relationship which gradually becomes passionate. The story of the romance is set alongside a powerful portrayal of the horrors of war and its threat of the total destruction of civilization.

Observational tragedy. Bloke falls for sub-moron during war. *petitions friendly bombs*Hemmingway absolves language of beauty. And then the world. His intent was to expose war's mundanity. His method rendered art menial.*sarcastic applause*

Damn. That ending. Even whilst still dusting off the cover (it's been lying around for ages) I already knew it's finale. It's simply been impossible to ignore. Even cropping up in three or four films I have seen over the years. Knowing it is one thing, but actually reading it is quite another. So, the big question is - did this in anyway tarnish the novel for me? In a word, No. As once I truly got stuck into Hemingway's compulsive narrative all was forgotten. His presentation of war was just as

Well, that was disappointing.For several months I've been focused on reading more classic literature, mostly as a way to dig deep and enrich my life during these trying political times. Until now, it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. This Hemingway novel was my first dud. I wanted to like this book. I've been reading more on World War I this past year and thought A Farewell to Arms would fit both my WWI interest and my goal of appreciating classics. But ol' Hem (as I learned to call

I can't say I enjoyed reading this book, because I didn't. Nevertheless it's impossible not to marvel at Hemingway's aggressive prose filled with tender descriptions. (As for the dialogue, I'm with F. Scott Fitzgerald: It's too glib.) It was interesting to note the influence Hemingway had on some of my favorite writers, overt or subtle influence, huge.It is very dismaying, however, that his heirs son Patrick and Patrick's nephew Sean assume the reader is so familiar with AFTA that they feel
