For Whom the Bell Tolls

by Ernest Hemingway

An American volunteer fighting with anti-fascist guerrillas during the Spanish Civil War is assigned to destroy a strategic bridge behind enemy lines. In the mountains, Robert Jordan confronts courage, mortality, and passionate love with Maria, a war-traumatized young woman. Hemingway's masterpiece captures the intensity of comradeship and the tragic beauty of sacrifice in a doomed cause.
