It tells the story of protagonist Robert Johnson, an American fighting for the Republicans during the war. For Whom the Bell Tolls is Hemingway's account of the Spanish Civil War, based on his experiences living as a journalist in Spain during the conflict. Overall, a lovely copy difficult to find in nice condition. with Donne quotation unclipped dust jacket, with just a hint of fading to spine, light wear to spine ends and corners, mild creasing to top right of rear panel, a tiny spot of staining to spine, and some tape residue to flaps. Near fine, with light toning to spine, a touch of rubbing to spine's red label, mild offsetting to endpapers, and light thumbsoiling to p. Publisher's beige cloth, stamped to front board in black with author's facsimile signature, stamped in red and black to spine in the original black, red, white, and blue dust jacket with a photograph of the author taken by Lloyd Arnold to rear panel. First edition, first printing, in the first state dust jacket lacking photographer's credit to rear panel (which was added in later states).
