A collectible hardcover edition of Hemingway's beloved novel of doomed love during wartime, with a new foreword by Abraham Verghese, the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Covenant of Water and Cutting for Stone

One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

A Penguin Vitae Edition

Amid the horrors of the Italian front in World War I, American ambulance driver Frederic Henry and English nurse Catherine Barkley fall hopelessly in love. For Frederic, the nurse's kindness and beauty are an anchor against the carnage; for Catherine, the ambulance driver is a lifeboat in the sea of grief for her first love. But even their passion is not enough to forestall the battle lines that creep ever closer with each Italian loss, and as the chaos and tragedy of war threaten their love, Frederic and Catherine must face the fragile nature of their humanity head-on.

In his signature spare prose, Hemingway draws from his own experience as an ambulance driver in World War I to evoke the horrors of war with brutal precision. A Farewell to Arms, his first bestseller, is a masterful portrayal of humanity in all its highs and lows that secures Hemingway's place among the foremost authors of American literature.

Ernest Hemingway (1889-1961) wrote in a clear, spare, deceptively simple style that made him one of the most admired and imitated authors of the twentieth century. Born in Chicago, he traveled widely throughout his life, living in Italy, France, Spain, and Cuba, and reporting from the frontlines of World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and World War II. His best-known novels are The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. A year later Hemingway won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Abraham Verghese (foreword) is the author of the multimillion-copy New York Times bestselling novels The Covenant of Water and Cutting for Stone, and the Linda R. Meier and Joan F. Lane Provostial Professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. In 2016 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal by President Obama.
