Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms 39 times to get the words right.
This edition collects all the alternate endings together for the first time, offering new insight into the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the 20th century.
Presented by Patrick and Se n Hemingway, this augmented edition of Ernest Hemingways classic novel of love during wartime features early drafts and, for the first time, all of the authors alternate endings.
Written when Ernest Hemingway was thirty years old and lauded as the best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse.
Set against the looming horrors of the battlefield--weary, demoralized men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the profound struggle between loyalty and desertion--this gripping, semiautobiographical work captures the harsh realities of war and the pain of lovers caught in its inexorable sweep.
Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms thirty-nine times to get the words right.
This edition collects all of the alternative endings together for the first time, along with early drafts of other essential passages, offering new insight into Hemingways craft and creative process and the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
Featuring Hemingways own 1948 introduction to an illustrated reissue of the novel, a personal foreword by the authors son Patrick Hemingway, and a new introduction by the authors grandson Se n Hemingway, this edition of A Farewell to Arms is truly a celebration.
