He shares a room with Lieutenant Rinaldi who tells him about some new nurses that have arrived at the hospital. In spring during the First World War Frederick Henry, an American volunteer in the Italian army, returns to the town of Gorizia in the north of Italy near the Austrian border. I didn’t like the ending of this novel, they want to marry but instead Catherine dies during childbirth along with her baby-boy. Running to Switzerland away from the Italian police and army. The best part of the book was the running away part. The dialogue is between Frederic Henry and one of his friends. The monologue is always about the events that take place in Frederic Henry’s live and the things he thinks about. In the book there is a little bit more monologue then that there is dialogue. The language used in this novel was a normal language, although sometimes I had the feeling some words were missing in a sentence. Although based on autobiographical facts, the novel is not entirely autobiographical. The final chapters are set in Switzerland where Henry has fled after his desertion from the army. This novel is a war novel based on Hemingway’s personal experiences on the Italian-Austrian front during the First World War and about his experiences in a war hospital in Milan, where he recovered from severe injuries. In the first chapter, it is almost autumn of an unknown year in the war, and at the end, it is almost one and a half-year later, the baby is born in March. The whole book plays in the First World War. The final chapter are set in Switzerland where Henry has fled after his desertion from the army. He tells the story matter-of-factly, without much emotion, not even when he is badly wounded or when the woman he loves dies.Ī great part of the story takes place in the hospital in Milan, where Henry recovers from his injuries. The story is told from the point of view of the main character in the first person. The book is told chronological, sometimes with a flashback. He is a little bit strange and he talks a lot. She comes from Scotland.ĭoctor Valentini is the surgeon who operates Henry. Miss Ferguson, she is a nurse and works with her friend Miss Barkley in the hospital.

He is an ambulance driver and a volunteer in the Italian army. There is one main character namely Frederic Henry. It really didn’t changed my mind, it’s is to long ago. There are a lot of books written about the first and the Second World War, so this isn’t really original. The peaceful event of birth of a child, however, does succeed in separating them. In the beginning of the novel he falls in love, and in spite of many dangers, the war does not succeed in separating him from his love. The main interest is focused on he character of Frederic Henry and on his reactions to various, often difficult situations. It’s also a war novel because it’s about World War One. He is also the main character in this novel. It’s about the thoughts and the feelings of a man called Frederic Henry.
