Publisher Description
Hvem ringer klokkerne for hører til Hemingways mest berømte og læste romaner. Den foregår over 3-4 døgn under den spanske borgerkrig, hvor en amerikansk spængningsekspert i samarbejde med en lokal partisangruppe har til opgave at sprænge en bro i luften. Sideløbende med den realistiske og nøgterne skildring af krigens gru og meningsløshed er indflettet en intens, følelsesfuld kærlighedshistorie. Romanen udtrykker det gennemgående tema i Hemingways forfatterskab: Der eksisterer ingen højere mening, man kan kun forsøge at udnytte sine evner bedst muligt og leve intenst i nuet, og den største, den sandeste og mest værdifulde oplevelse er kærligheden.

About Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), born in Oak Park, Illinois, started his career as a writer in a newspaper office in Kansas City at the age of seventeen. After the United States entered the First World War, he joined a volunteer ambulance unit in the Italian army. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises. He also wrote Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea, the story of an old fisherman’s journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. He also wrote short stories that are collected in Men Without Women and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories. Hemingway died in Idaho in 1961.
