A Farewell to Arms follows the story of Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American serving as an ambulance driver in the Italian army during World War I. Amid the chaos of war, Frederic falls in love with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse grieving the death of her fiancé. Their romance deepens as Frederic recovers from injuries sustained at the front. As the war worsens, Frederic becomes disillusioned with the violence and bureaucracy, ultimately deserting the army.
The couple flees to Switzerland, seeking refuge and a peaceful life together. Catherine becomes pregnant, and they hope for a future far from war. However, their happiness is short-lived. Catherine faces a difficult childbirth, and both she and their baby die, leaving Frederic devastated and alone.
The novel explores themes of love, loss, the brutality of war, and the fragility of human happiness. Hemingway’s spare, direct style underscores the stark realities faced by his characters, making the emotional moments even more poignant. A Farewell to Arms is often regarded prose to capture deep human emotion.
