Hemingway slog igenom på allvar och blev världsberömd med utgivningen av Farväl till vapnen 1929. Romanen, som beskriver krigets fasa och meningslöshet, bygger på Hemingways egna erfarenheter som ambulansförare vid den italienska fronten under 1. världskriget, där han blev svårt sårad. Kärlekshistorien mellan den frivilliga amerikanska löjtnanten Henry och den engelska sjuksköterskan Cathrine, ett förhållande som slutar tragiskt, spelar dock en central roll i romanen.

Es una novela llena de significados y con un fondo, que a pesar de su realismo es de un romanticismo digno de los grandes creadores del siglo XIX.
