Synopsis
Hemingway's great novel of the Spanish Civil War
'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it'
High in the pine forests of the Spanish Sierra, a guerrilla band prepares to blow up a vital bridge. Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer, has been sent to handle the dynamiting. There, in the mountains, he finds the dangers and the intense comradeship of war. And there he discovers Maria, a young woman who has escaped from Franco's rebels...
'A sparse, masculine, world-weary meditation on death, ideology and the savagery of war in general' Sunday Telegraph
'One of the greatest novels which our troubled age will produce' Observer

What Reviewers Are Saying
His passionately committed, flawed masterpiece * Observer * For Whom the Bell Tolls allowed us to actually see the experience of an irregular struggle, from the political and military point of view...That book became a familiar part of my life. And we always went back to it, consulted it, to find inspiration * Observer * I read as a kid, of course, but it didn't get me like that till I read For Whom the Bell Tolls. I was very taken with that book. I still reread sections, though I'm now reading it not for the thrill of the story but for the technique and craft of it. * Daily Mail * The best book Hemingway has written * New York Times *
