Abstract Ernest Hemingway (1899- 1961) is often regarded as representative writer of “the lost generation” and he exerts deep influence on the contemporary writers。 In the works of Hemingway, the war is one of his favorable topics, composing the main theme of his works。 Hemingway has written many masterpieces about the war, among which A Farewell to Arms is an immortal one。 This novel laid the foundation for Hemingway’s status among the contemporary writers and left a profound impact on later literatures。 86413
