SynopsisIn 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 to 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.

The title suits the story
The book was in good condition ,like new actually. The story was interesting but dragged a little on the battle parts. I also found it amusing that all of the swear words were taken out and replaced with obscene,unprintable,and other words that just changed one letter. 1940's censorship was also interesting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Happy Cistomet
Exactly as described, great shape, a bit of underlining inside but very little. Very happy with the reseller, recommended. Only part way through, very compelling. Discovered it on a list of the top 100 books that are a must to read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
