Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" is a poignant autobiographical account of his experiences during the Great War. The novel captures the raw emotions and profound impact of war through the eyes of a young American volunteer. With an uncompromising and passionate narrative, Hemingway vividly recreates the fear, camaraderie, and courage that he witnessed firsthand while serving as an ambulance driver in Italy in 1918, where he was wounded and twice decorated for his bravery.
This unforgettable war novel offers a simple yet immediate portrayal of the men and women Hemingway encountered during his time on the Italian front. At its core, "A Farewell to Arms" is a love story of immense drama and uncompromising passion, set against the backdrop of a world torn apart by conflict. Hemingway's clarity, spirituality, and sense of harsh reality amidst the confusion of war resonate profoundly, even in these troubled times.
Hailed as "a novel of great power" by the Times Literary Supplement, "A Farewell to Arms" stands as a testament to Hemingway's literary genius and his ability to capture the essence of human experience in the most trying of circumstances. With its timeless themes and raw emotional depth, this masterpiece continues to captivate readers worldwide.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
