A Contemporary Classics hardcover edition of Hemingway’s masterpiece--a classic novel of World War I that is also a tender, haunting love story

Ernest Hemingway drew from his own war experiences when he crafted this remarkable story of an American ambulance driver serving on the Italian front and his love for a beautiful English nurse. The novel, Hemingway’s first best seller, is marked by vivid depictions of the horrors of the battlefield—but also by the heartrending vicissitudes of a passionate affair of the heart between his protragonists, Frederic and Catherine, leading up to a tragic ending that is all the more powerful for its famously understated expression.

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) was born in Illinois and began his career as a reporter before enlisting as an ambulance driver at the Italian front in World War I. Hemingway and his first (of four) wives lived in Paris in the 1920s, as part of the "Lost Generation" expatriate community, before moving to Key West, Florida, and later to Cuba. Known first for short stories, he sealed his literary reputation with his novels, including The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea.
