Ernest Hemingway - Por Quem os Sinos Dobram

In 1937, Ernest Hemingway traveled to Madrid to report on the resistance of the legitimate Spanish government to the advance of the fascist rebels. Three years later, he would complete one of the most famous novels about the Spanish Civil War, *For Whom the Bell Tolls*.

The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades, a member of a guerrilla unit fighting somewhere in a mountainous area, is a tale of courage and loyalty, of love and defeat, which ultimately became one of the most beautiful war novels of the 20th century.

"If the function of a writer is to reveal reality," wrote editor Maxwell Perkins in a letter to Hemingway after finishing his manuscript, "no one has ever done it better than you."
