À propos de cet audio

 Ernest Hemingway's masterpiece on war, love, loyalty, and honor tells the story of Robert Jordan, an antifascist American fighting in the Spanish Civil War.

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” and one of the foremost classics of war literature.

For Whom the Bell Tolls tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades, is attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain. In his portrayal of Jordan’s love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of a guerilla leader’s last stand, Hemingway creates a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author’s previous works, For Whom the Bell Tolls stands as one of the best war novels ever written.©1952 Ernest Hemingway; (P)2006 Simon & Schuster Inc.

description of a small partisan effort critical for the success of a larger operation critical in an effort to prevent the spread of facism in Spain. Without brushing up on my early 20th century history I want to say the Republic had just won the election but the facists with an assist from Hitler and Mousillini overthrew that government in an ominous precurser to the attempt to spread facism throughout the world. Though partisan, or guerrilla, warfare will always play a part as people defend their homelands, it would not have been necessary to this extent if the major North American and European powers had gotten off their duffs and went to war in Spain, which may have prevented WWII, but I digress. Wonderfully written, I enjoyed the narration which is more or less sullen without much variation in tone. I found that an effective way to impart the mood on the reader as those were not happy times in Spain. I enjoyed this book very much and would certainly recommend it to a wide audience.

Sublime

When the story of the takeover of the fascist town was told by Pilar in the book, I was totally immersed in the story. Although it is wordy at times I loved the book untill it's last line. This is a classic for a reason

Great story, masterful reading by Campbell Scott

This is the book that shows Hemingway as a master of restraint—every sentence feels like it’s doing ten times the work of an ordinary one. His prose is stripped down, but it hums with tension and meaning. There’s a kind of brutal grace in how he writes about war, love, and death—like he’s staring directly into the hardest parts of being human and refusing to flinch. This novel, in particular, is staggering. Few authors can make stillness feel electric or turn fatalism into something noble. Hemingway does it all here, and he does it effortlessly.

Hemingway’s “sharpened stillness”
