Synopsis
In FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, published in 1940, Hemingway explores his own conflicting emotions about heroism, the futility of war, and the value of human life--a theme that is exemplified by the book's title, which is taken from the 17th-century poet John Donne's famous sermon that begins "No man is an island" and goes on to say one should not ask for whom the funeral bell tolls: "it tolls for thee." The novel, which is set during the Spanish Civil War in the spring of 1937, takes place over the course of four days. It tells the story of Robert Jordon, a young American attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain--a college teacher who happened to be in Spain on vacation and decided to join the Loyalists. He has now been commissioned to blow up a bridge. Soon after he arrives at the mountain camp, he meets a young woman named Maria who has been raped by the fascists and seen her parents killed. The two fall instantly in love, but their romance is cut short by the inexorable progress of the war. With passionate clarity, Hemingway depicts Jordan's conflicting tangle of emotions: the idealism with which he joined the Loyalist cause, his belief in romantic love as salvation, his growing questions about whether violence is ever justified, and the combination of fatalism and fear with which he confronts his own death. In the novel's final moments, as Jordan faces the inevitable, he resolves the questions that have plagued him. Hemingway's novel, with its bleak view of war and the failure of idealism, has been called an antiwar document, but the book is more complex than that. It is more about the grim necessity of recognizing that moral issues are seldom clearly marked out in black and white, and that human beings must struggle constantly with difficult choices.

Publisher's Note
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.

This masterpiece of time and place tells a profound and timeless story of courage and commitment, love and loss, that takes place over a fleeting 72 hours. Drawing on Hemingway's own involvement in the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls reflects his passionate feelings about the nature of war and the meaning of loyalty.

Industry Reviews
"If the function of the writer is to reveal reality no one has ever so completely performed it."
Maxwell Perkins

"A very good novel it unquestionably is, and I am not at all sure it may not prove to be a great one. That is not something to determine on a first reading. But this much more is certain: that Hemingway is now a writer of abundant talents whose work does measure up to his equipment. 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' is the book of a man who knows what life is about, and who can convey his knowledge. Hemingway has found bigger game than the kudu and the lion. The hunter is home from the hills."
New York Times Book Review - J. Donald Adams (10/20/1940)
