About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1958. Signed by the author Ernest Hemingway on CBS letterhead, which has been affixed to the front endpaper. Measures approximately 8.5" x 5.75", with 471 numbered pages.
This book is in very good plus condition. Minor bumping and sun-fading to the spine ends. Gilt lettering and label on spine still vibrant. Minor shelf wear to the edges of the textblock. Paper damage to the front pastedown - possibly from bookplate removal. Author's signature affixed to the front endpaper "Best Always, Ernest Hemingway". Textblock is bright and well preserved. The original dust jacket is in very good condition. Minor edgewear to the extremities. Spine darkened. Original $4.95 price present on the front flap.
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" is one of Hemingway's biggest literary triumphs. Written in 1939 and finished in 1940, the first edition was published in October of that year, with a print run of 75,000 copies. The novel was inspired by Hemingway's experiences as a journalist in Spain during its civil war. The plot centers on an American dynamiter who joins forces with an anti-fascist troupe to carry out the detonation of a bridge. What unfolds is a story of bravery, deception, love, and agony. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is certainly one of Ernest Hemingway's greatest novels. Were it not for the war and politics of the time, this novel would have been the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1941 - as the jurors voted unanimously in favor of the award.
