For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway 

VINTAGE HARDCOVER [1957] SCRIBNER 

Classic 1970's era Scribner book club edition with 2-tone blue leatherette boards and deckle-edged paper.

A few nicks to leather on spine and some general shelf wear to boards.  Otherwise excellent.  Interior looks and reads like new. 

The story of Robert Jordan, a young American in the International Brigades attached to an antifascist guerilla unit in the mountains of Spain, it tells of loyalty and courage, love and defeat, and the tragic death of an ideal. In his portrayal of Jordan's love for the beautiful Maria and his superb account of El Sordo's last stand, in his brilliant travesty of La Pasionaria and his unwillingness to believe in blind faith, Hemingway surpasses his achievement in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms to create a work at once rare and beautiful, strong and brutal, compassionate, moving and wise.
