The definitive edition of the classic novel of love during wartime, featuring all of the alternate endings: Fascinating... serves as an artifact of a bygone craft, with handwritten notes and long passages crossed out, giving readers a sense of an author's process and evolution.

In A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway tells the poignant story of an American ambulance driver and a British nurse who fall in love during World War I. Hemingway's narrative, known for its austere prose and profound emotional undercurrents, captures the brutality and futility of war while exploring themes of love and loss.

This edition not only enriches the reading experience with its inclusion of multiple endings but also provides literary enthusiasts with a glimpse into Hemingway’s creative journey. It illustrates the depth of his character development and the meticulous crafting of his narrative.

About the Author

Ernest Hemingway did more to influence the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. He has been called "the most important author since Shakespeare," by John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review. The publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established him as one of the greatest literary lights of the 20th century. His classic novella The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. He died in 1961.
