Zbogom oružje

Ernest Hemingway

Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms (1929), set on the Italo-Austrian front, follows the love story and wartime experiences of Frederic Henry, an American lieutenant who serves as an ambulance driver in the Italian army during World War I.

Frederic, a young and cynical soldier, meets Catherine Barkley, a British nurse, in a hospital in Milan. Their relationship begins superficially, but develops into a deep love as they face the horrors of war. Frederic is wounded and temporarily withdrawn from the front, which deepens their relationship. Catherine becomes pregnant, and Frederic returns to the battlefield, where he witnesses chaos and moral decay, especially during the Italian army's retreat at Caporetto.

After being nearly executed by his own allies in a chaotic escape, Frederic deserts, determined to return to Catherine. They find refuge in neutral Switzerland, where they try to live an idyllic life. However, their happiness is short-lived - Catherine dies during a difficult childbirth, along with their child. Frederic, broken, is left alone, faced with the tragic transience of life.

The novel is known for Hemingway's minimalist style, realistic dialogue, and powerful depiction of the brutality of war and the fragility of human relationships. Through a love story, Hemingway examines existential emptiness and searches for meaning in a world marked by loss.
