Ultimately, Lewis and Roos assert, Hemingway’s great novel is not simply a story of love and war, as most have concluded, but an intricate novel of ideas exploring the clash of reason and faith and deep questions of epistemology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe commentary also delves deeply into the roots of controversy surrounding the novel’s treatment of gender issues through the characters of Frederic Henry and Catherine Barkley. Catherine, they argue, is far more than an object of love; she is a real feminist heroine who is responsible for Frederic’s maturation in developing a capacity for true love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in clear and accessible prose that will appeal to scholars and Hemingway neophytes alike, \u003ci\u003eReading Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms\u003c\/i\u003e is the most sweeping guide yet available to Hemingway’s finest novel, and contributes to a richer understanding of the writer’s entire body of work.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The Kent State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670807965976,"sku":"9781606353769","price":28.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reading-hemingways-a-farewell-to-arms-glossary-and-commentary-paperback-softback-9781606353769","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
