About
Dans les forêts de pins denses d'une région montagneuse espagnole, un groupe de miliciens se prépare à faire sauter un pont essentiel à l'offensive républicaine. Cette action coupera les communications routières et empêchera la contre-attaque des rebelles. Robert Jordan, un jeune volontaire des Brigades Internationales, est le dynamiteur expert qui est venu en Espagne pour faire sauter ce pont. Là, dans les montagnes, il découvrira les dangers et l'intense camaraderie de la guerre. Et il découvrira aussi María, une jeune femme sauvée par les miliciens des mains des forces rebelles de Franco, dont il tombera immédiatement amoureux. Au fur et à mesure qu'ils traversent les montagnes, Robert Jordan apprendra ce qui s'est passé pendant les premiers jours de la rébellion jusqu'au moment où la tragédie collective dans laquelle ils sont plongés se précipitera.
"Pour qui sonne le glas est le roman qui a donné à Hemingway le meilleur et le pire que quelqu'un avec une mentalité d'athlète puisse recevoir : un triomphe insurpassable."
Juan Villoro
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Nobel Prize Winner 1954 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," For Whom the Bell Tolls.
The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving, and wise. "If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," Maxwell Perkins wrote Hemingway after reading the manuscript, "no one ever so completely performed it." Greater in power, broader in scope, and more intensely emotional than any of the author's previous works, it stands as one of the best war novels of all time.
