The best American novel to emerge from World War I, A Farewell to Arms is the unforgettable story of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his passion for a beautiful English nurse. Hemingway's frank portrayal of the love between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley, caught in the inexorable sweep of war, glows with an intensity unrivaled in modern literature, while his description of the German attack on Caporetto -- of lines of fired men marching in the rain, hungry, weary, and demoralized -- is one of the greatest moments in literary history. A story of love and pain, of loyalty and desertion, A Farewell to Arms, written when he was 30 years old, represents a new romanticism for Hemingway.

最溺爱的他的一本书,简洁的表现力,有力地表达。而表达出的,却是绝望。

好友来港时推荐Hemingway的笔触,于是每日翻个10-20页,名曰陶冶情操,实为改善睡眠。Frank portrayal给人感觉颇为清爽,只是我觉得是我浮躁了。。习惯Spartacus这种很黄很暴力。。。现在反倒觉得故事节奏缓慢了点。。。。
