Title: For Whom the Bell Tolls
Author: Ernest Hemingway
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons, New York
Published: 1940
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Edition: 1st edition
Number of Pages: 471
Catalogs: Literature, Spain, Fiction
Description: First edition with "A" on copyright page. Original tan cloth binding with black text on spine and stamped signature on cover. No dust-jacket. Some dirt and discoloration to cloth, particularly on the spine and fore-edges. Red or pink decoration on spine is greatly faded. Foxing on inside hinge at pastedowns. Weak rear hinge, some mesh showing. Pages are tanned but unmarked. Contains the small pasted label of the James Book Store, Cincinnati, on the rear pastedown. For Whom the Bell Tolls tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer attached to a Republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish Civil War. As a demolitions expert, he is assigned to blow up a bridge during the Segovia Offensive. After he is injured, he waits alone with a submachine gun for the enemy's approach. The book was published just after the end of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), which had been covered in detail in international media at the time. The novel is regarded as one of Hemingway's best works, along with The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, and The Old Man and the Sea. Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and journalist. Hemingway's economical, understated style influenced later 20th-century writers, and he was known for his adventurous lifestyle and outspoken, blunt public image. Some of his seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works have become classics of American literature, and he was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hardcover, good condition. 471 pages, octavo.
