In addition to Henry's narrative voice, I liked the way Slattery realised the Italian characters. Which character – as performed by John Slattery – was your favourite?

The narrator, Frederic Henry, dominates the novel. I read the text alongside the audio and I thought Slattery's reading brought out tones and inflections I might have missed on the page. He negotiates the accents (American, Italian, English, Scottish, Swiss) convincingly. He gets the balance between the hard-bitten laconic tone of the narrative, from the terse war reflections to the suppressed pain at the end. John Slattery does a fine job narrating Hemingway's classic novel. |1 .Would you consider the audio edition of A Farewell to Arms to be better than the print version? |a Scribner library (Series) |0 |v SL61. |a A farewell to arms / |c by Ernest Hemingway. 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. 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. 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.

A volunteer ambulance driver and a beautiful English nurse fall in love when he is wounded on the Italian front.

By turns romantic and harshly realistic, Hemingway's story of a tragic romance set against the brutality and confusion of World War I cemented his fame as a stylist and as a writer of extraordinary literary power.
