About This Novel
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), one of the most outstanding writers in the United States, winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is one of his major works. Robert Jordan, an American young man, volunteered to join the Spanish government army and engage in blasting activities behind enemy lines. In order to cooperate with the counterattack, he was ordered to contact local guerrillas to complete the task of blowing up the bridge. In the midst of the raging war, he fell in love with Maria, a little girl who had been raped by the enemy, thereby smoothing out the trauma in Maria's soul. In three days, Robert experienced the conflict between love and duty and the test of life and death, and his humanity continued to sublimate. On the way to retreat after the bridge was blown up, he gave up his hope of survival to others, but his thigh was broken by a cannonball. He stayed alone to stop the enemy, and finally gave his young life for the Spanish people.

Only those who see the true nature of the world, still love it, and fulfill their duties are true heroes.
Good. This book reveals the cruelty and violence of war. It is a book that reflects the social turmoil at that time. Hoping for peace to come. It's a really good book
