A Farewell to Arms (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789359912202)

A world at war. A love struggling to survive its ruins. Against the violent backdrop of World War I, a young American ambulance driver becomes entangled in a passionate romance with a British nurse. What begins as a respite from the horrors of the battlefield grows into something deeper-an all-consuming connection that offers fleeting hope in a time of senseless destruction. But war does not tolerate peace, and even the most private love story cannot escape the consequences of duty, fate, and a crumbling world order. As the two lovers flee a military unraveling and a society in collapse, they must confront the harshest of truths-that love, while redemptive, cannot always offer salvation. This novel offers a brutal portrait of war-not the glory of combat, but its futility, chaos, and indifference. In contrast, it portrays a love so fragile and sincere that its very existence seems miraculous. Every scene, every line, every silence carries weight. The prose is stripped to its essence, as bare and honest as the lives it describes. It is not simply a story of romance or battle. It is a meditation on loss, endurance, and the price one pays for clinging to beauty in a world determined to destroy it.
