When A farewell to Arms was published in 1929, it immediately went to top of the bestseller list. Readers found the novel fascinating as it dealt with a tragedy of man’s broken hopes and his farewell to everything that would count as important in one’s life. Its theme of universal loneliness in the midst of war, left an indelible mark of overwhelming emotion, severely controlled and conveyed with the fewest possible words. This was quite typical of Hemingway’s best works. His style is stripped clean for action and tense dialogues, leaving everything to implication and suggestion.This critical evaluation of A Farewell to Arms has its chief features:• Chief Characteristics of the Twentieth Century Novel• Detailed Chapter-wise Summary of the Novel with Critical Comments• Comprehensive Discussion on Important Textual aspects and the Characters in the Novel• Select University Questions with Answers• Select Literary Criticism
