Przejmująca historia miłosna na tle zawieruchy wojennej Amerykański porucznik Frederic Henry służy w korpusie ambulansów armii włoskiej podczas pierwszej wojny światowej. Stacjonując w północnych Włoszech, spotyka piękną angielską pielęgniarkę Catherine Barkley i zakochuje się w niej. Namiętny romans tych dwojga zostaje jednak przyćmiony przez okropności wojny. Frederic rusza na front z niewielkim oddziałem, który traci podczas ofensywy, on sam zaś musi zdecydować, czy zostać dezerterem czy zginąć. Czy w tak ponurych czasach może liczyć na łut szczęścia? Pisząc Pożegnanie z bronią, Hemingway inspirował się własnymi doświadczeniami wojennymi. W tej porywającej, na wpół autobiograficznej prozie w oszczędnym stylu oddaje surowe realia wojny, jej bezsensowność oraz bezmyślne okrucieństwo, a także cierpienie kochanków uwięzionych w kleszczach sił wyższych niż pragnienia jednostki. Nakreślony przez niego portret głównego bohatera odzwierciedla osamotnienie i rozczarowanie przedstawicieli „straconego pokolenia” – ludzi, którzy wkroczyli w dorosłość podczas pierwszej wojny światowej. Opublikowana po raz pierwszy w 1929 roku powieść jest jednym z najlepszych dzieł Hemingwaya.
