HEMINGWAY, Ernest.

Item Number: 73029

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929.

First edition, first issue of one of Hemingway’s greatest works. Octavo, original black cloth. Fine in a very good dust jacket with some wear and tear to the extremities and some fading to the extremities.

Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, 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—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 the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right.
