For Whom The Bell Tolls
Part 0 Of One Parts
In 1937 Hemingway arrived in Spain to cover the Civil War for the North
American Newspaper Alliance. He filed his dispatches, but the real fruit of those
years was FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS.
The story of Robert Jordan, an American fighting with anti-fascist guerillas in the
mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, the tragic death
of an ideal. It lives for us because of the great disillusionment that grew out of
WW II, a war fought with such high hopes and concluded so cynically with a
former ally gobbling up half of the Europe we hoped to liberate.
"If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell wrote Hemingway after
reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Great in power,
broad in scope, intensely emotional, it stands as one of the best war novels of all
times.
