Anyone can come to the house of this family and do with its members all that he wants. The Italian government does cunningly: the family of disgraced soldier loses the voting rights, public respect and state protection. Man, who leave the battlefield, will be shot, or will get a family disgrace. They would be happy to finish it, but they can not. The heroes of the novel «A Farewell to Arms» mostly hate the war.
There is a feat, but perhaps even more folly in it. The war by Hemingway is simple and ruthless as his criticism of this mindless process. None can write about the war like Hemingway.By short, allegedly lopped phrases, American writer describes the main events, activities, actions, feelings and thoughts of the characters. In 1948 in the «Introduction» to the edition author said, that he took part in many wars, and it made him a «biased to this problem» person. Ernest Hemingway, as the main character of his novel, served on the Italian front, was wounded, lay in the Milan hospital and had an affair with a nurse. The novel «A Farewell to Arms» is mostly autobiographical. Unsightly military weekdays and sincere human feelings provide an access to the classical artistic problems - the realization by human his own place in the world and the identification of important existential constants of «war» and «peace», «life» and «death», «faith» and «disbelief».
On the background of the war occurs the love story between lieutenant of the field ambulance, Frederick Henry, and nurse, Catherine Barkley, and it is the second major theme of the novel.
The main theme of the work and the mover of the plot was the First World War. The novel «A Farewell to Arms» written by Ernest Hemingway released in 1929 and touched on several major problems that agitated European society in the early XX century.
