Description
Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 - July 2, 1961). Ernest Hemingway signed book, "A Farewell To Arms" Crisp, clear, bold signature in black ink. A Farewell to Arms is a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, set during the Italian campaign of World War I. First published in 1929, it is a first-person account of an American, Frederic Henry, serving as a lieutenant in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army. The novel describes a love affair between the expatriate from America and an English nurse, Catherine Barkley. Its publication ensured Hemingway's place as a modern American writer of considerable stature. The book became his first best-seller and has been called "the premier American war novel from World War I". The title might be taken from a 16th-century poem of the same name by the English dramatist George Peele. The novel has been adapted a number of times: initially for the stage in 1930; as a film in 1932, and again in 1957; and as a three-part television miniseries in 1966. Comes with a Letter of Authentication from Autograph Certification Experts.
