An Apple Books Classic edition.
Ernest Hemingway’s novel about one man’s experience during World War I is raw, suspenseful, and strikingly modern.
American ambulance driver Frederic Henry was passionate about joining the Allies on the Italian front, but that was a long time ago. Now, no wartime adventure can impress him. Even when he escapes execution by diving into a river and hopping a train, Frederic’s candid, immediate descriptions never hint at anything resembling glory.
Yet for all his stoicism, the one thing that pierces through Frederic’s disillusionment is his love for an English nurse named Catherine. From the everyday frustrations of military life to the unsettling mundanity of wartime violence, this book changed the landscape—not just for novels about war, but for novels as an art form.
