A Farewell to Arms

By: Ernest Hemingway

Narrated by: Nathan Osgood

A poignant exploration of love, loss, and the search for meaning in an indifferent world, A Farewell to Arms is a classic of American literature and an essential twentieth century text.

Frederic Henry is an American ambulance driver in the Italian army during World War One. We follow Frederic throughout his role in the war, and his evolving relationship with Catherine Barkley, a British nurse he meets while recovering from an injury. As their romance deepens, they find themselves facing not just the chaos of war, but the threat of loss and separation. Their bond is tested as Henry is sent back to the front lines, where he witnesses the brutalities of war and the toll it takes on both soldiers and civilians.
