Deathstroke****************************************

The content is good, there are love, war, etc. The beginning of the story is the love between two people, and the end of the story is two people separated. War is indeed cruel, and love is also involuntary. For whom does the bell toll? It tolls for me and for you.

The plot of this book is very attractive and made me feel like I was on the battlefield in Spain. The author's description of the characters and scenes is very delicate, especially the description of the well-hidden camp, which made me feel the tense atmosphere. The dialogue in the story also felt realistic, making it easier for me to understand the characters' thoughts and feelings. I think this is a book worth reading.

It is reasonable for this book to have a higher rating. After comparing some translations, this one is more readable. Combining personal battlefield experience with concise and powerful writing, Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" pushes the cruelty of war and the tenacity of human nature to the extreme. It successfully arouses the world's deep sympathy for the Spanish republican cause, praises the fearless brilliance of the internationalist spirit, and has a moral appeal that even transcends time and space. The greatness of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" lies in its being a universal fable about people, courage and resistance to war; its limitation lies in the fact that it is a record of the Spanish Civil War from a specific perspective. The literary prism that focuses on individual sacrifice and anti-fascist justice has produced a bias in refracting the entire historical picture - it filters out too many internal shadows, contradictory gray areas and the root pain of social tearing, and contains too much individual heroism from the United States. To understand the Spanish Civil War, you can see that this book magnifies the halo of American heroes and the International Brigade, weakens the sacrifices of Spanish local forces (especially anarchists), and beautifies that tragic storm full of paradoxes and betrayals that swallowed up the entire country. It concealed the unity within the republicans, covered up the filth and cruelty of backstabbing and cannibalism, and intentionally or unintentionally obscured the bloody nightmare of the Spanish Civil War, which swallowed up the lives of 300,000 compatriots and plunged the entire country into an abyss, full of betrayal, chaos and widespread violence. Hemingway's death knell tolled for Jordan and for the idealized anti-fascist warrior, but it failed to toll equally, clearly, and profoundly for all the Spanish souls regardless of camp who died in this crazy massacre of the fratricidal wall. This novel was written against the background of the Spanish Civil War but failed to reveal the unspeakable source of pain that this war caused to Spain itself, stemming from the deep tearing of society. Therefore, many Spaniards still think that this book is a distortion of Spanish history.
