Sinopse

Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty and considered the greatest American novel of all time about love in wartime, A Farewell to Arms is a semi-autobiographical novel that captures the pain of lovers struggling against the harsh and relentless realities of war. This edition features a blurb by Ênio Silveira and a translation by Monteiro Lobato.

The best American novel set during World War I, A Farewell to Arms cemented Ernest Hemingway's reputation as one of the most important fiction writers of the 20th century. A story with several similarities to the writer's biography, it introduces us to a volunteer ambulance driver wounded on the Italian front , the beautiful Scottish nurse he falls in love with, and their adventure as they search for some small sanctuary to shelter them and their love amid a world driven mad by war.

This is a love story with a happy ending, unlike the one experienced by the author. The protagonists believe they can isolate themselves in their love simply by distancing themselves from the war. In 1918, wounded in combat, Hemingway is admitted to a hospital in Milan, where he meets nurse Agnes von Kurowsky, with whom he falls in love. She, however, refuses to marry the writer, leaving him deeply disillusioned.

Narrated in the first person, A Farewell to Arms is a true triumph of literary composition, at once beautiful and tragic, tender and starkly realistic.

"" A Farewell to Arms is perhaps the best novel ever produced by an American writer. It is a magnificently perfect book. [...] A story of love and war—of a love as ardent and unhappy as that of Romeo and Juliet, of a war as inhuman and hateful as all wars."" - Ênio Silveira

Sobre o autor

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway é um dos pilares da literatura contemporânea mundial. Nascido em 1899, começou a escrever aos 18 anos para um jornal. Quando os Estados Unidos entraram na Primeira Guerra Mundial, alistou-se como voluntário, tornando-se motorista de ambulância para o Exército da Itália. Após ser ferido, recebeu uma condecoração do governo italiano. Ao voltar para os Estados Unidos, trabalhou como repórter para jornais americanos e canadenses, e então voltou para a Europa, cobrindo eventos como a Revolução Grega.

Durante os anos 1920, tornou-se membro do grupo de expatriados americanos em Paris, o qual ele descreveu neste seu romance de estreia, publicado em 1926.

Ernest Hemingway foi agraciado como o Nobel de Literatura em 1954 e faleceu em 1961.
