About This Book
In 1937 Ernest Hemingway traveled to Spain to cover the civil war there
for the North American Newspaper Alliance. Three years later he
completed the greatest novel to emerge from "the good fight," For Whom
the Bell Tolls. The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the
International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the
mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat,
and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for
the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in
his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe
in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also
Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and
beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. "If the
function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote
Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely
performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely
emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of
the best war novels of all time.
