A Farewell to Arms
Narrated by Edoardo Ballerini
Written by Ernest Hemingway  (1929)

 

Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms tells the gripping story of a young soldier, Lieutenant Frederic Henry, who falls deeply in love with a spirited nurse, Catherine Barkley, amid the chaos of World War I. Their love burns bright even as the world around them collapses in violence, unfolding against a backdrop of danger, loss, and the struggle to find meaning in a world torn apart by war.

With Hemingway’s sharp, emotional writing and fast-paced storytelling, this novel captures the thrill of first love, the pain of growing up too fast, and the haunting question of what we’re willing to risk for the people we care about most.
