Summary
Las fuerzas de la república van a iniciar una importante ofensiva y necesitan cortar las comunicaciones por carretera para evitar el contraataque。 Robert Jordan， dinamitero de las brigadas internacionales， ha venido a España para volar un puente clave para la maniobra。 Durante los días anteriores a la operación， Robert conoce a maría， una frágil muchacha rescatada por los guerrilleros de manos de los fascistas y de quien se enamora。 Mientras cruzan las montañas van conociendo las sangrientas historias que ocurrieron en los primeros días del levantamiento， sabiendo de antemano que su intervención será del todo inútil y que la gran tragedia colectiva en la que están inmersos seguirá su inexorable curso。

For Whom The Bell Tolls ~ Ernest Hemingway （1940）Following the story of Robert Jordan， an American volunteer who joins a republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish civil war， Hemingway portrays some historical facts through his fictional novel。 For Whom The Bell Tolls is a very slow burner and very much a philosophical read。 With just a handful of characters， this isn’t a novel that relies much on action。 Instead we get to explore more of what it felt like for the people who have gone through For Whom The Bell Tolls ~ Ernest Hemingway （1940）Following the story of Robert Jordan， an American volunteer who joins a republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish civil war， Hemingway portrays some historical facts through his fictional novel。 For Whom The Bell Tolls is a very slow burner and very much a philosophical read。 With just a handful of characters， this isn’t a novel that relies much on action。 Instead we get to explore more of what it felt like for the people who have gone through an era of political conflict。 Many a time you can’t help but sense we are part of the internal monologues and intimate thoughts and feelings of the characters。 It is not necessarily an easy read。 There is an emphasis on human nature。 In depth descriptions of the harsh realities of war shed light on the horrors some people have been though and are capable of。 Chapter 10 in particular was as intense as it was heartbreaking and infuriating， full of conflicting feelings， showing us the different aspects of humanity。 Give people the smallest amount of power and they will show you what they are about。 The writing style is slightly odd， I’ve read somewhere it’s supposed to look like a Spanish translation。 You get a lot of thee/thou and whilst at first i thought it was for showing respect， it didn’t really so made no sense。 Also the swearing words are replaced with the word obscenity so that’s also a bit confusing。 If someone knows what this is about please enlighten me。 This was M’s choice for our bookclub read and the 3 of us couldn’t figure it out。 It’s also fair to say the guys weren’t keen on this book， but I can understand why。 If the plot is something that is important to you in a book then this is not really for you。 It is more a book about people’s reflecting on their lives and war therefore for me it was great。 Whilst I’ve learnt a lot and it was thought provoking， this is not one I would reread。 I have a complicated relationship with Hemingway。 I appreciate his work but I never love his books 🤷🏼♀️ do you ever feel like that about any authors？ Nonetheless if you love reflective historical fiction give this one a go， it’s a great book。 “For what are we born if not to aid one another？” ~ Hemingway 。。。more

While not as moving as The Sun Also Rises， For Whom the Bell Tolls still manages to stand among Hemingway’s best works。

I've been reading Hemingway these days。 The first book I read of his was The Old Man and the Sea， and I was in the initial pages of that book when I realized his works were not my type。 Readers these days are not used to his type of understated style of writing and all that old man's struggle in the book seemed pointless to me。 But， I never like to give up on a book and I went on reading anyway。 And it was the best thing I've ever done。 By the time I finished it， I found that Hemingway freak in I've been reading Hemingway these days。 The first book I read of his was The Old Man and the Sea， and I was in the initial pages of that book when I realized his works were not my type。 Readers these days are not used to his type of understated style of writing and all that old man's struggle in the book seemed pointless to me。 But， I never like to give up on a book and I went on reading anyway。 And it was the best thing I've ever done。 By the time I finished it， I found that Hemingway freak in me。 The best thing about his writing， I found out， is that no writer can put such vivid pictures in our minds as Hemingway puts。 Without much exaggeration， I can comment that Hemingway doesn't write。 He just tips over his brains and heart on a page and it becomes a book。 Later， when I was hooked on to his prose， I picked "For Whom The Bell Tolls"。 The 500-page novel was set in the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War in late first half of 20th century。 Apparently， the civil war raged between Republicans and Fascists as the Republicans retaliated against the ruthless reign of Fascists under the command of Francisco Franco。 United States and Soviet Union vouched for Republicans in the civil war through the non-intervention policy。 Although the book was fiction， it has elements that can help you see the Civil War and its repercussions on both groups。 The protagonist in the book， Robert Jordan， was sent into the fascist lines to blow a vital bridge as an aid for the impending Republican attack。 Here， in the woods， he takes the help of guerilla band as man power to help him in the blowing of the bridge。 They live deep in the woods in a cave to not let themselves seen by the fascists and Robert Jordan finds his love， Maria， here。 As it progresses， Hemingway delves more into the minutiae of the civil war， the comradeship it ensued between complete strangers。 More than once， he writes about the moral ambiguity a soldier is thrown into when serving under a group。 He used his own， influential understated style to explain the dilemma they are put into。 That killing in a war is inevitable goes without saying， because it there's not killing， how can it be called a war？ That put aside， Hemingway passionately writes that we should never be proud of killing someone。 If it's inevitable and should be done， go ahead to do it。 But， don't go around with a badge on your neck with a label，" I killed the most number of people。" There was this particular line I found really profound in the book: If a man has something once， always something of it remains。 I felt that the line basically had it between its letters that one can never change completely even if one wanted to。 In a lot of books or movies， we see people starting over in a new place in a new home， and then later being haunted by their past。 It professes the same thing。 Like， one can say， once a thief， always a thief。 Even if the thief goes into jail for a minor larceny and comes out a completely changed person， he still carries that stain in his character that theft had put on him。 I know it's a lot to brood over one line， but in many ways， I found it really relevant to any person belonging to any epoch。 Hell， it could even stir up in your heart some feelings you're trying to repress for quite a while now。 Nothing you've been into once will ever escape you and that's what Hemingway's message is to the lost generation with the literal "lost"。 With Hemingway himself being a witness to the civil war， like he is a lot more things， the book was so authentic。 I am drawing to the end and the final pages are so evocative and vivid I can't put it aside。 This is my first book I am reading that talks about war and， despite being not much of a fan of military and war films， I enjoyed the book thoroughly。 And I am thankful I didn't give up on The Old Man and The Sea that day。 My next read of Hemingway is going to be "The Sun Also Rises"。 The title itself presents an irony and it doubles my desperation。 。。。more

The setting of the Spanish Civil War and the complexities within it was interesting， though the book is slow at times。 The antiquated English Hemingway uses to mimic Spanish can make it tiring to follow occasionally。

It is just too long and written in Old English （lots of "thee" and "thou"）。 While it is at times dramatic and romantic and has a few exciting scenes， it drones a lot with self-talk。 I could use a modern day version a 1/3 of the original size。 It is just too long and written in Old English （lots of "thee" and "thou"）。 While it is at times dramatic and romantic and has a few exciting scenes， it drones a lot with self-talk。 I could use a modern day version a 1/3 of the original size。 。。。more

In my continued attempt to reread some of the classics while Book Club is in recess for the summer， I read Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”。 The classics are so dense in ideas。 Themes are so elaborately discussed and exposed。 One understands why they have stood the test of time and why they are labelled classics。 They deal with timeless， universal themes and that too in depth。 They are therefore as relevant today as they were when they were written。 And so is this great masterpiece o In my continued attempt to reread some of the classics while Book Club is in recess for the summer， I read Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”。 The classics are so dense in ideas。 Themes are so elaborately discussed and exposed。 One understands why they have stood the test of time and why they are labelled classics。 They deal with timeless， universal themes and that too in depth。 They are therefore as relevant today as they were when they were written。 And so is this great masterpiece of a most talented author。The backdrop of the novel is The Spanish Civil War， a brutal conflict that raged between 1936 and 1939 between troops of the left leaning newly elected Government of Spain called the Republicans and the conservative elements of the country called the Nationalists or Fascists led by Gen。 Francisco Franco。 It was a bloody， brutal conflict between two ideologies and the subject of one of the greatest paintings of all times， Pablo Picasso's Guernica。 The Spanish Civil War is seen as a precursor to World War II。 The Fascist or Nationalist army was helped by Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy。 The Socialist Republicans were aided by Communist Russia。 The Nationalist side was mostly made up of landowners， businessmen， the Catholic Church and important elements of the military。 The Republicans were made up of workers， agricultural labourers and a small number of local communists。 Because the Spanish Civil War was seen as a war of ideologies， thousands of volunteers from all over the world， especially from America flocked to Spain to help the Republican side， though many of the volunteers did not support Communist ideology。 One such volunteer is the protagonist of the novel， Robert Jordan。 Robert Jordan is a Professor of Spanish at the University of Montana。 He has spent many years in Spain， loves the language， culture and people and joins the Republican army as an expert in explosives。 He is given the task of blowing up a bridge in Fascist held territory。 In that task he is assisted by a band of guerrillas who live in the mountain side。 The plot of the novel is simple。 It covers the four days Jordan spends with the guerillas till on the fourth day they blow up the bridge。The first half of the book is slow。 There is little action。 We get to know the very interesting characters of the band。 Pablo the leader is wild， brave but brutal and somewhat disillusioned by the Republican cause。 Pilar his wife is a strong woman who takes over the leadership when Pablo starts drinking heavily。 Maria becomes Robert Jordan’s lover for those three days。 Anselmo， my favourite character in the book， is old， wise and conflicted between his religious beliefs and what the war expects of him。 There are a few other characters。 The characters are all very well drawn。 The reader along with Robert Jordan come to know them well。 When in the second half of the book the action begins， the reader’s empathy is fully with these most memorable characters。The book in the first half also covers the musings of Robert Jordan’s mind on what I think are the main themes of the novel – War， Duty， Death， Killing and Love。 This may seem like a number of themes but of course the first four， that is War， Duty， Death and Killing are related and one grows out of another。 Hemingway had worked as an ambulance driver in the First World War and he had been badly injured。 Besides his participation in the First World War， he had covered the Spanish Civil War as a journalist for the American Publication called Alliance。 His personal involvement in war and first-hand experience of the Spanish Civil War which became the material for this novel published in 1940， gives the book a great deal of authenticity。 Through the musings of the characters in the novel， especially Robert Jordan， the author presents war as nothing but loss， loss of life， loss of property， loss of innocence， loss of character， loss of values， loss of idealism。 In the words of Agustin， “war is a bitchery”。 There are no real victors in war since both sides experience enormous loss。 The book is full of portrayals of the horrors of war， the killing of Joachim’s parents， El Sordo’s bloody last stand， Maria’s rape， the massacre of Fascists in Pablo’s village。 So， there is nothing glorious about war and yet war is sometimes essential。 Without war， ideologies that promote justice and fairness cannot be maintained， unacceptable behaviour and actions will go unpunished， increasing the possibility of similar actions and behaviour in the future。 When you believe in a cause， as Robert Jordan does， it is noble to fight， to put the good of country and humanity ahead of personal safety and comfort。 This is the message of the book， best expressed by Robert Jordan。 “I have fought for what I believed in for a year now。 If we win here， we will win everywhere。 The world is a fine place and worth fighting for…。” Even as I write this review， volunteers from all over the world are fighting in Ukraine。 “For what are we born if not to aid one another” Hemingway says in “For Whom the Bell Tolls”。 Robert Jordan believes in the cause and fights for it。War necessarily means killing。 The characters span a wide spectrum on this theme of killing。 We have Pablo who relishes killing and organizes the massacre of Fascists in his hometown with extreme cruelty。 His capacity for extreme and unnecessary cruelty is seen again in the last pages of the book。 Agustin is young， caught up by the adventure of war and is itching to kill。 On the other end of the killing spectrum is Anselmo， a devout Catholic who thinks killing is a sin。 He kills because he has to， so that his cause may win but “after the war” he says” there will have to be some great penance done for the killing。”。 “Even though necessary， it is a great sin and afterwards we must do something very strong to atone for it”。 Killing is so painful to him that he has to be coached not to aim at a man but at a target。 Robert Jordan falls somewhere in between Pablo and Anselmo。 In the past he has relished killing but now he examines his own actions in the war and tries to balance morality with the need to kill one’s enemies。 He thinks about those he has killed， were they all real fascists or just ordinary people with mothers， fathers， sisters and fiancés fighting with the Fascist army？ He is conflicted by these doubts。The theme of War and Killing leads to a great deal of thinking about death in the novel。 El Sordo dies bravely making a last stand and killing as many of the enemies as possible。 Robert Jordan wants to live， especially because he feels he has found the love of his life but his duty to the cause allows him to go ahead and do his work。 He tells Pilar that he has but one fear， that of not doing his duty。 He fortifies himself for death with thoughts of his brave grandfather who fought in the American Civil War。 Death in the form of suicide is often mentioned in the novel。 Robert Jordan has killed a friend in war upon his request to avoid being captured。 Maria walks around with a blade in her pocket ready to take her own life if captured。 Robert Jordan’s father committed suicide in the novel which he criticizes as cowardice。 And at the end of the story Robert Jordan has to make a decision whether or not to take his own life。 Twenty or some years after this book was published， Hemingway was to put an end to his own life。 The theme of love balances these other themes of violence for love is life giving as opposed to killing。 This subplot of the novel did not appeal to me。 Maria’s love for Robert Jordan is sentimental and cloying and one has to wonder if their love would have lasted had they returned to normal life。 One of course has to be reminded that this book was written seventy years ago， Parts of the book are slow， but for its extensively developed themes， its unforgettable characters and Hemingway's prose， it is a must read for all serious readers of literature。 。。。more
