A Farewell To Arms

I just finished reading “A Farewell to Arms” by Ernest Hemingway for the first time. In this video, I talk about what the physical book was like (it was a a Collier mass market edition) and give some scattered impressions of what it was like to read the book for the first time. I hope you enjoy
The video and don’t forget to subscribe. Best regards, Leafy.
P.s. leave a comment if you feel so inclined!

Liked the review!

Hearing you thoughts on the actual book recalled my time in high school when I read The Sun Also Rises, with a cover painting by James and Ruth McCrea.

The vivid, Impressionistic cover art of those paperbacks were part of my experience of discovering Hemingway.

Those paperbacks are worth collecting!

Great review! This was the book that got me back into reading in college. It has continued to hold a special place in my heart.

"A book where the story is good and the style is instructive." Amen!

This is on my booklist! I‘m on a shopping spree for everything Buk, Hemingway, Fante, etc.

Good review. I don't read many books but just finished this one. It ruined my night lol.

I have the Collier edition of To Have and Have Not :) we'll have to have a more in-depth Hemingway convo. Lots to talk about!
