For Whom the Bell Tolls - Hardcover
ex-libris, cover page removed, 1 stamp. Plastic covered jacket excellent, price clipped, quite light scuffing to corners and spine. Pages age yellowing, crisp, clean and flat. A truly magnificent, breathlessly exciting novel about the Spanish War. An immense feat that can justifiably be called a classic. (fic)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. A later printing of the UK edition published in 1978. The book was first published in the UK in March 1941, and first published in the USA by Charles Scribner's & Sons also in 1941. ***Near fine in brown cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The silver is still beautifully bright. Edges of boards just slightly rubbed. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Corners sharp. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. No creases or tears. Interior pages clean. There is a slight indentation in the pages where a period bookmark was left in the book - probably for many years! [please see scans] Spine tight. **In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper that is unpriced. The dustwrapper is complete, with no chips or tears - just some light rubbing to the surface colour at the spine and extremities. Dustwrapper bright. ***443 pages. 195 mm x 133 mm. ***'"For Whom The Bell Tolls" is a long, very serious book about the Spanish War, where Hemmingway (sic) fought on the Republican side, and it deals with the blowing up of a bridge in the mountains. It is full of courage and brutality ---.' Listener (Period review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***'"For Whom the Bell Tolls" tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer attached to a Republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish Civil War. As a dynamiter, he is assigned to blow up a bridge during an attack on the city of Segovia. It was published just after the end of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). It assumes the reader knows that the war was between the Second Spanish Republic government, supported by the Soviet Union, which many foreigners like Robert went to Spain to help, and a successful, Nationalist faction, supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It was commonly viewed as the dress rehearsal for the Second World War. In 1940, the year the book was published, the United States had not yet entered the war, which had begun on 1st Sep 1939, with Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland. The novel is regarded as one of Hemingway's best works, along with "The Sun Also Rises", "A Farewell to Arms", and "The Old Man and the Sea". [Wiki] ***A 1978 reprint of Hemingway's famous novel of the Spanish Civil War complete in its original dustwrapper. The book and dustwrapper are in nice condition, without any significant faults. Hardcover editions from this period were mostly produced for lending libraries, and so non-library survivors are quite thin on the ground. A nice hardcover reading copy to have. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8222
