FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
by Ernest Hemingway


Flyleaf:

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 suberb 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.

No man is an _Iland_, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the _Continent_, a part of the _maine_; if a _Clod_ bee washed away by the _Sea_, _Europe_ is the lesse, as well as if a _Promontorie_ were, as well as if a _Mannor_ of thy _friends_ or of _thine owne_ were; any mans _death_ diminishes me, because I am involved in _Mankinde_; And therefore never send to know for whom the _bell_ tolls; It tolls for _thee_.
--JOHN DONNE
