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. The 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 title might be taken from a 16th‑century poem of the same name by the English dramatist George Peele. The book became his first best-seller and has been called "the premier American war novel from World War I". Its publication ensured Hemingway's place as a modern American writer of considerable stature. The novel describes a love affair between the expatriate from America and an English nurse, Catherine Barkley. 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. A Farewell to Arms is a novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, set during the Italian campaign of World War I.
