An American ambulance driver on the Italian front falls in love with a British nurse, and Hemingway — who was an American ambulance driver on the Italian front — writes the retreat from Caporetto in prose stripped to the bone.
The ending is among the most quietly devastating in twentieth-century fiction. Hand-bound in genuine leather with gold-tone titling, this edition gives a spare novel a permanent form.
