A most beautiful, moving and human book
Vita Sackville-West
A novel of great power
Times Literary Supplement
Flawless... such mastery of narrative, imagery and feeling, the prerequisites for great prose
Edna O'Brien, Guardian
It seems such simple and straightforward language, but it isn't. The first chapter of A Farewell to Arms is only two and a bit pages but there is almost every variety of sentence structure. It is incredibly artful writing, and part of the art is disguising that it is artful.
John Harvey, Guardian
Essential Hemingway...a gripping account of the life of an American volunteer in the Italian army and a poignant love story.
Daily Express
There is something so complete in Mr. Hemingway's achievement in A Farewell to Arms that one is left speculating as to whether another novel will follow in this manner, and whether it does not complete both a period and a phase...crisply natural and convincing.
Guardian 1929
