War, love, and the making of a novel

Set on the Italian front during World War I, the novel brings an American ambulance driver’s relationship with an English nurse into the upheaval of the battlefield. Its wartime setting also frames questions of loyalty and desertion, placing private attachment alongside the pressures of military conflict. This edition adds material on how the book took shape: it collects alternate endings and early drafts of key passages, and includes Hemingway’s 1948 introduction, a foreword by his son Patrick, and a new introduction by his grandson. The additional texts make the edition useful for considering both the story and the decisions involved in its composition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic fiction set during World War I
  • Readers looking for a novel combining a romantic relationship with wartime experience
  • Readers interested in drafts, alternate endings, and authors’ creative processes

Book overview

Hemingway's masterpiece is not only one of the best novels we have about World War I but 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 protagonists, Frederic and Catherine, leading up to a tragic ending that is all the more powerful for its famously understated expression.
