Question:

Ernest Hemingway's book: For Whom the Bell Tolls?

Non of the major internet stores give an outline of the story, can anyone tell me the storyline? Don't say how it ends though!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Robert Jordan is in Spain during the time of the Spanish Civil War. He elects to fight on the side of the Republicans. He becomes a demoitions expert and is on his way to blow up a train bridge with a group of guerillas. He falls in love with a young woman and gets advice from an older woman. I found it to be an exciting book to read. There are lots of digressions because the older woman, Pilar, is a wonderful storyteller. I thought each digression was worth reading.
