Love and War in "A Farewell to Arms''



"A Farewell to Arms" was the result of ten years digestion of Hemingway's 555t198f experiences in the First World War.The novel is not

He is wounded and his convalescence coincides with a love affair between him and British nurse,Catherine Barkley.The novel offers masterful descriptions of the conflict's senseless brutality and violent chaos:the scene of the Italian army's retreat remains one of the most profound evocations of war in American literature.Nevertheless,the novel cannot be said to condemn the war:"A Farewell to Arms" is hardly the work of a pacifist.Instead just the innocent ingeneer's death is an inevitability of war,so is the war the inevitable outcome of cruel,
