 ... recommend the acquisition of at least a foundation in the history of the Spanish Civil War. The story follows a young American sent to aid antifascist guerillas. Robert Jordan is on a mission that consists simply of blowing up a bridge. The plot is complicated by his emotional attachment to the band of guerillas to which he is assigned. Jordan goes so far as to fall in love with the beautiful Maria of the band. Hemingway is able to turn a simple task of blowing up a bridge into a war in and of itself. Jordan i...more

When a friend suggested I read this book I thought I had a fairly good idea of what to expect. I had never read any Hemingway before but I had seen some film adaptations of his novels and I knew enough about his life (the love of bullfighting, the big game hunting and general 'macho' pursuits) to assume that it was going to be a 'boys own', rip-roaring adventure.

Last summer I decided to tackle a few books I had been meaning to read. Among these was a novel by Ernest Hemingway. At the time, I wasn't particular about exactly which Hemingway novel I wanted to read. So I stood in the bookshop reading the back cover of a number of novels. I walked out with For Whom the Bell Tolls. Little did I know it would take me over a year to finish the novel. This was partly due to enrollment in UNI. The rest was due to the short descriptive prose staggered in a number of sentence combined with paragraph long sentences Hemingway uses when writing. Matched in difficulty to read only by Clockwork Orange, Hemingway became an ...
