This well-preserved copy of Ernest Hemingway’s seminal novel “A Farewell to Arms” offers a window into the author’s transformative experiences during World War I. Published in 1929, the book draws heavily from Hemingway’s own stint as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was gravely wounded. Through the story of Frederic Henry, an American serving in the Italian army, Hemingway captures the brutality and disillusionment of the Great War, as well as the tender respite found in a tragic love affair. With its spare yet evocative prose, the novel cemented Hemingway’s reputation as a literary innovator and leading voice of the Lost Generation. This 1969 edition bears the subtle marks of its age, inviting collectors and readers alike to hold a piece of 20th-century literary history in their hands.
