Description of the Book:This novel is told primarily through the thoughts and experiences of Robert Jordan, a character inspired by Hemingway's own experiences in theSpanish Civil War. Robert Jordan is an American who travels to Spain to oppose the fascist forces of Francisco Franco.A superior has ordered him to travel behind enemy lines and destroy a bridge, using the aid of a group of guerrillas who have been living in the mountains nearby. Robert Jordan encounters one of those in their camp, Marķa, a young Spanish native whose life has been shattered by the outbreak of the war. His strong sense of duty clashes with both Republican leader Pablo's unwillingness to commit to a covert operation and his own joie de vivre that is kindled by his newfound love for Marķa.The novel graphically describes the brutality of civil war.
