Publisher Description
Vor tids fineste kærlighedsroman skrev Tom Kristensen i anmeldelsen. Farvel til våbnene bygger på Hemingways egne erfaringer som ambulancefører ved den italienske front under 1. verdenskrig, hvor han blev hårdt såret. Romanen beskriver krigens gru og meningsløshed, men nok så centralt er kærlighedshistorien mellem den frivillige amerikanske løjtnant Henry og den engelske sygeplejerske Cathrine.

About Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
