{"product_id":"a-farewell-to-arms","title":"A Farewell to Arms","description":"A Farewell to Arms is a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, set during the Italian campaign of World War I. First published in 1929, it is a first-person account of an American, Frederic Henry, serving as a lieutenant (Italian: tenente) in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army. The novel describes a love affair between the American expatriate and an English nurse, Catherine Barkley.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIts publication ensured Hemingway's place as a modern American writer of considerable stature. The book became his first best-seller and has been called \"the premier American war novel from [...] World War I\". The title might be taken from a 16th‑century poem of the same name by the English dramatist George Peele.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe novel has been adapted a number of times: initially for the stage in 1930; as a film in 1932, and again in 1957; and as a three-part television miniseries in 1966. The film In Love and War, made in 1996, depicts Hemingway's life in Italy as an ambulance driver in events prior to his writing of A Farewell to Arms.","brand":"Boekie.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56929875230985,"sku":null,"price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/3685\/0953\/files\/A-Farewell-to-Arms-boek-cover-9786253871871_318b7392-9fe8-4b9a-8573-be2fc929922a.jpg?v=1783030652","url":"https:\/\/boekie.nl\/products\/a-farewell-to-arms","provider":"Boekie.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
