About For Whom the Bell Tolls
For Whom the Bell Tolls is a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning American author Ernest Hemingway. The author’s characteristically direct, simple writing style is used to create an unflinching portrayal of the realities of war, told from the perspective of an American who is fighting for the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. During one three-day mission to blow up a bridge, he finds himself questioning his own political, moral and existential beliefs, and whether or not he has found a cause worth dying for.
