An early twentieth century love story set in bleak war time Italy. While Hemingway’s depiction of women falls short, he describes obsessive love accurately and with seemingly effortless craft.

some parts were funny but idk why i did this to myself
I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars- 3.5? I liked the writing, and WWI ambulance driver in Italy, good subject matter. But the characters were pretty distant, and the plot didn't really engage me.

It really drags throughout, especially the first third. Not sure if that's what Hemingway was going for to illustrate the mundane day to day of war or if it just hasn't aged well. Probably a bit of both. Either way I would have enjoyed it more if it were about 100 pages shorter.
از پیرمرد و دریا خیلی بهتر بود. البته شاید به خاطر اینه که من داستانای عاشقانه جنگی رو خیلی دوست دارم.
با اینکه حجم کتاب نسبتا کم بود اما گهگاهی حوصلهم سر میرفت.

Loved this book when I was 15. Loved the sadness and the emotional tumult. Now I might think it heavy handed and misogynistic.
