For Whom the Bell Tolls

For Whom the Bell Tolls is the most powerful

literary work of Ernest Hemingway. This novel came as an

assurance to all the enthusiasts of Hemingway that, as a writer

of significant modern fiction, his fame had been reestablished

permanently. This novel cannot be compared to A Farewell to

Arms on most levels, because Hemingway made an entirely

new emergency with For Whom the Bell Tolls. It deals with

the great Spanish Civil War and its influence on the world. In

January 1937, Hemingway signed a contract with NANA for

covering the Spanish Civil War. He was for the first time,

obviously, openly declaring his political standpoint in sharing

Jordan’s sympathies with the Republicans against the Fascists.
