For Whom the Bell Tolls Book

One of Ernest Hemingway's most famous novels is "For Whom the Bell Tolls". The novel tells the story of Robert Jordan, a young American volunteer. He was associated with the republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish Civil War. Like a stick of dynamite, he was assigned to destroy a bridge during the attack on the city of Segovia.

The Spanish Civil War lasted from 1936 to 1939. And the novel was published shortly after the Civil War, in which the general lines were well known. After reading this novel, readers will learn that the war was largely confined to the government of the Spanish Republic. And to whom many foreigners migrated. And the communist Soviet Union and the nationalist parties that were originally supported by Nazi Germany and fascist Italians.

The book was published in 1940 when America did not enter World War II. But after the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, they too entered the war. Several novels, including The Sun Al, so Rises, and A Farewell to Arms, are considered Hemingway's best works.

On 5 November 2019, the book "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was included in the list of the most influential and inspiring novels published by BBC News. The book was banned in Turkey in 1975 because of allegations of anti-state propaganda.

On February 21 of the same year, eleven Turkish book publishers were punished for publishing the book in violation of the law. They were sentenced to a possible one to six months. The book was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1941. The committee unanimously recommended the book, but Nicholas Murray Butler was then head of the board.

He thinks there is something offensive in the book. The novel For Whom the Bell Tolls was therefore considered ineligible for the Pulitzer Prize. No Pulitzer Prize was awarded for the novel that year.
