Review
"A most beautiful, moving and human book" (Vita Sackville-West)
"A novel of great power" (Times Literary Supplement)
"Flawless... such mastery of narrative, imagery and feeling, the prerequisites for great prose" (Edna O'Brien Guardian)
"It seems such simple and straightforward language, but it isn't. The first chapter of A Farewell to Arms is only two and a bit pages but there is almost every variety of sentence structure. It is incredibly artful writing, and part of the art is disguising that it is artful." (John Harvey Guardian)
"Essential Hemingway...a gripping account of the life of an American volunteer in the Italian army and a poignant love story." (Daily Express)
Book Description

READ ON: For more information and interesting facts.# ## Hemingway's spare, powerful prose and his depiction of the harsh realities of war have made "A Farewell to Arms" a classic of American literature. ## ## "A Farewell to Arms" is a novel by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1929. The story is set during World War I and follows Lieutenant Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver who serves in the Italian army. Frederic falls in love with a British nurse, Catherine Barkley, and their relationship becomes the novel's central focus. Amidst the war's chaos and brutality, Frederic and Catherine seek solace and meaning in their love for each other. The book explores love, loss, duty, and the futility of war. ## ## Penguin Books has an iconic place in the world of literature. Founded in 1935 by Sir Allen Lane, Penguin revolutionised the publishing industry by making high-quality literature affordable and accessible to everyone. Before Penguin, books were often expensive and out of reach for the average reader. Lane's vision was to produce quality paperbacks that cost no more than a pack of cigarettes.## ## Penguin's first ten titles, published in July 1935, included works by Ernest Hemingway, André Maurois, and Agatha Christie. The books were colour-coded: orange for fiction, blue for biography, and green for crime. Their affordability and striking design quickly made Penguin paperbacks a hit with readers. ## ## Penguin's influence extended beyond just affordable pricing. The company's commitment to producing high-quality literature and non-fiction shaped modern publishing. Penguin has published many classic and contemporary works, including the Penguin Classics series, which brought classic literature to a broader audience. Throughout its history, Penguin Books has been known for its innovative and sometimes controversial approach to publishing. For example, in 1960, Penguin was tried under the Obscene Publications Act for publishing D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover." The trial became a landmark case in the UK, with Penguin winning, leading to greater freedom in publishing literary works.## ## Penguin's legacy continues today as part of Penguin Random House, one of the largest English-language publishers in the world. The brand remains synonymous with accessible, high-quality literature, continuing to fulfil Sir Allen Lane's vision of bringing good books to all.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
