Notes

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway is a novel set during World War I, focusing on the love story between Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian army, and Catherine Barkley, a British nurse. The novel explores themes of love, war, loss, and the search for meaning amidst chaos. As Frederic becomes disillusioned with the war, he and Catherine escape to Switzerland, seeking peace and happiness. However, their story ends tragically, reflecting the novel’s broader commentary on the futility and devastation of war. Hemingway’s spare, direct prose enhances the emotional depth of the novel.
