PULITZER PRIZE; NOBEL PRIZE; etc., extraordinary American novelist -- and, less commonly known, a ground-breaking short story writer. Legendary author of acclaimed 20th Century HIGHSPOT works such as THE SUN ALSO RISES; THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA; TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT; and basis for Hollywood movies, including classic 1943 Sam-Wood directed one w/GARY COOPER and INGRID BERGMAN; etc.:
Ernest Hemingway 1st American Printing of 1st American Edition (all Points, including important Scribner \"A\" to Copyright Page)... in facsimile 1st-issue DJ.· Perhaps his most well-known, and certainly highly-regarded, work.
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS.Hugely popular, critically-praised novel... replete with author\'s famous spare style and powerful symbolism.About the book...
The moving classic is set in Spain -- in 1937. It was written while its robust author, Hemingway, lived in Key West, FL. Brilliant novel tells the tale -- over only 72 hours -- of American teacher Robert Jordan. Jordan (the work\'s protagonist) is a volunteer loyalist in the Spanish Civil War, and has been sent to contact a guerilla band; after which, he is to blow up a bridge to advance a loyalist offensive.But... he falls in love w/Maria; and befriends shrewd, cowardly leader Pablo and his courageous wife, Pilar. Hemingway\'s compassionate and authentic portrait of his characters as they struggle to retain their idealistic beliefs helped earn this work\'s reputation as one of his finest. While his previous thematic-related works focused more on the meaninglessness of war (e.g., A FAREWELL TO ARMS), this novel ends with a reaffirmation of community.
