Description: Ernest Hemingway famously said that he rewrote the ending to "A Farewell to Arms" 39 times to get the words right. This edition collects all the alternate endings together for the first time, offering new insight into the evolution of one of the greatest novels of the 20th century.
Brief description: Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.
Review Quotes: "A Farewell to Arms" stands, more than 80 years after its first appearance, as a towering ornament of American literature."-- "The Washington Times"
