FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS by Ernest Hemingway

For Whom the Bell Tolls

For Whom the Bell Tolls

In A Nutshell

Ernest Hemingway's 1940 novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, is a classic war romance (that's a war drama and a romance, in one). Set in the mountains of Spain in 1937, it tells the story of Robert Jordan, an American fighting for the Republicans (that's one side of the Spanish Civil War, not the American political party) who is ordered to blow up a bridge as part of a larger offensive. To help him with his mission, he has to work with a colorful group of local guerillas, one of whom he falls in love with.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this book, and we mean literally. It's actually grounded in, and informed by, Hemingway's own visits to war-torn Spain as a journalist and film production assistant in 1937 and 1938. He himself called the book "the most important thing I've ever done," though, admittedly, that was in 1939, before he won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize for Old Man and the Sea.

The critics seemed to agree with his good assessment back then in 1940, or at least most of them. There was a widespread sense that Hemingway was "back," after taking rather too long of a vacation from noteworthy writing since his first two breakout successes, A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises. For Whom the Bell Tolls was affirmed as "the great novel of the Spanish Civil War." It was the biggest seller in American fiction since Gone With the Wind as of 1943, and to date it still appears to be Hemingway's best-selling book. When released, For Whom the Bell Tolls shot immediately to the top, or near the top, of various "Best of" lists, whether it be best of the decade, best American books, or best novels, period.

But not everyone was so wild about it. In fact, violent controversy erupted around the book right after its publication. Much of this was political, as the environment at the time (remember, this was during WWII) was politically charged, to say the least. In one case, this cost Hemingway big time: the book was denied the Pulitzer Prize by Columbia University's president (he sided with the fascists), even though Hemingway's novel was unanimously voted the winner by the prize board. Result: no award for 1941.

Nowadays, other kinds of controversy surround the book. Some find Hemingway's depiction of the Spanish too unfair and inaccurate. More widespread is a debate about the book's realism: though the book seems very well-researched, and Hemingway's sketch of the setting appears meticulous, the episode around which the book revolves is made-up, and some claim it is difficult to see just how far Hemingway's "imagination" extends. Controversy or not, though, the novel does appear to have stood the test of time as the novel about the Spanish Civil War.

P.S. It's hard to read, or talk about, the book without a passing knowledge of the Spanish Civil War itself. So that's why we've we recommend you check out this University of Illinois website on the Spanish Civil War.

Plutarco - Obras morales y de costumbres, I

Síntesis del Libro

Plutarco (Queronea 50-125 d. C.) ha legado a la posteridad una obra rica y variopinta –abarca todos los campos posibles del saber antiguo: historia, filosofía, astronomía, mitología, medicina, historia de la religión, etc.–. La pluralidad de sus escritos e intereses se halla recogida bajo el título general de Moralia, un enorme conjunto de escritos que pone de manifiesto el marcado temperamento didáctico del autor, quien, como en sus Vidas paralelas, se proponía antes que nada ofrecer a amigos y a jóvenes en general un acervo de conocimientos y una guía moral para ayudarles a conducir con acierto sus vidas particulares y colectivas. Los Moralia, pues, consisten en multitud de opúsculos misceláneos, tratados que la Editorial Gredos ha distribuido en trece volúmenes según criterios de afinidad temática o funcional, con el título general de Obras morales y de costumbres.
Este primer tomo incluye seis tratados. «Cómo debe el joven escuchar la poesía» incorpora a la educación el gran legado poético griego desde un punto de vista moral, y trata la poesía como propedéutica o estudio preliminar para el acceso a la disciplina fundamental, la filosofía. «Sobre cómo se debe escuchar» se refiere al modo de atender a los discursos orales de los filósofos, y describe la virtud de escuchar: reconocer los valores del discurso, prestar más atención a los contenidos que a los artificios formales, hacer preguntas pertinentes que ayuden a profundizar los significados... «Cómo distinguir a un adulador de un amigo» proporciona criterios para no equivocarse en las relaciones personales. «Cómo percibir los propios progresos en la virtud» sostiene socráticamente que sólo el hombre sabio es virtuoso, y que éste puede percibir su mejora ética en fenómenos como el interés por cuestiones morales, si se conforma con la propia conciencia del bien realizado.... «Cómo sacar provecho de los enemigos» ilustra como incluso los adversarios ofrecen la oportunidad de perfeccionarse moralmente, pues obligan a ejercer control sobre uno mismo, a guardar silencio ante los reproches y a oponerles una vida sin tacha. Por último, «Sobre la abundancia de amigos» discurre acerca de las características y los requisitos de la verdadera amistad

Random Book

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Charles Dickens

Read By: John Lee

Genre: Fiction

Published: 1859

Description

Madame Defarge, one of literature's most horrifying characters, knits as the heads roll in Dickens' tale of the French Revolution. She is the symbol of the Revolution's malevolence. Dickens masterfully contrasts the cruelties of the Old Regime with the savagery of the formerly oppressed peasants visiting their suffering upon the heads of the nobility and all those accused of counterrevolutionary activity. At the same time, the alternative to both the old guard and the modern guillotine is the possibility of redemption. It is a vision laid out by one of the most unlikely characters in this novel, Sidney Carton, who gives his own life in order that the protagonist, Charles Darnay, might live. This hope rises above the crimes of nobility and peasants alike, outliving Madame Defarge herself.
