ERNEST HEMINGWAY

A Farewell to Arms

A magnificent and tender tale of love and war on the Italian front in World War I, this novel is among the most enduring works of fiction produced in this century.

"It is one of those things-like the Grand Canyon-that one doesn't care to talk about. It is so great a book that praise of it sounds like empty babbling."

-Edward Hope, New York Herald-Tribune

Born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899, Ernest Hemingway was educated there in the public schools. He became a reporter on the Kansas City Star and in World War I served as an ambulance driver in Italy and was badly wounded in action. After the war he settled in Paris as a correspondent for the Toronto Star and it was there he began his serious writing career. He served as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War and World War II. In 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. He died in Idaho in 1961.
