Whom the Bell Tolls reveals the story of Robert Jordan, a young American dynamiter, who volunteered to fight in the International Brigades against Franco. Waiting for the right time to blow up an important bridge while living amid a guerilla unit in the pine forests of Spanish Sierra he meets beautiful Maria and falls in love with her. But he will have to wait to be permanently with her until the end of his mission.
Hemingway had a penchant for war stories and a natural talent to turn them into masterpieces. He wrote many enduring tales in the genre. In For Whom the Bell Tolls he outshined even his earlier work. Whatever there is in a war is palpable in it, but with a touch of Hemingway.
