From the supplier: Ernest Hemingway's aesthetic debt to Henri Barbusse is examined. The basic argument is that in 'A Farewell to Arms,' Hemingway uses Barbusse's "constater" method in expressing anti-war sentiments and social criticism. The technique is to present situations through the juxtaposition of contrasting descriptions of the same setting, soldiers' dialogues and indirect descriptions. The protest then is subdued, double-voiced and not bombastic. The language used keeps the piece from screaming.
