In 1929, three vels by three velists who were soldiers themselves added to literary modernism themes recurrent like death, disillusionment, despair, and resilience in spite of all the prevalence of the three previous aspects. The three vels were: All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington and A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway. This book focuses on Hemingway's tragic story of love between an expatriate American supervisor of an Italian military Red Cross ambulance unit and an English V.A.D cadre. The book delves into the grim picture of the Great War and its associated destruction and annihilation as represented by Hemingway. The book has diverse critical essays on the title, character, prose style, velistic form, absurdity, suffering and love.
