   • bioText: Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.

title

For Whom the Bell Tolls

fullDescription

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.

reviews

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Campbell Scott's reading of Hemingway's great novel of the Spanish Civil War, like Hemingway's text, is spare and dense, but layered with subtlety. Because Scott seems to withdraw from it emotionally, the reader's investment in it is all the greater. Scott knows that the real drama lies in the understated intensity of Hemingway's prose, the rich Spanish cadences of his lines, and in his simple yet powerful diction. Reading cleanly, without additional flourish, he mimics them perfectly, slipping flawlessly in and out of the Spanish itself, hovering only lightly in the background, like the faint, thin smoke of the campfire around which Robert Jordan sits with Pablo, Pilar, and Maria. With Hemingway, less is always more, and Scott's presentation succeeds like no other could. P.E.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Alexander Adams gives a magnificent interpretation of FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS. Recognizing that all characters are speaking an informal Spanish, Adams knows better than to attempt what would invariably sound like silly accents. Rather, he projects the eloquent language of Hemingway through timing, emphasis, sincerity of characterization and a perfect grasp of the meaning and intent of every sentence. One is never confused about who is speaking since Adams's tones and inflections clearly differentiate gender and ages. With his naturally resonant storyteller's voice, he conveys compassion for the characters. The final agony of Robert Jordan could have been made to sound mawkish and pathetic, but Adams gives it the perfect tone of grace under pressure, which, while heartbreaking, shows no tears. This rare ability to touch the listener without obvious theatrics makes Adams the perfect interpreter for Hemingway. P.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
