First edition, first printing with the Scribner's "A" present on the copyright page. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is one of Hemingway's biggest literary triumphs. Written in 1939 and finished in 1940, the first edition was published in October of that year, with a print run of 75,000 copies. The novel was inspired by Hemingway's experiences as a journalist in Spain during its civil war. The plot centers on an AMERICAN dynamiter who joins forces with an anti-fascist troupe to carry out the detonation of a bridge. What unfolds is a story of bravery, deception, love, and agony. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is certainly one of Ernest Hemingway's greatest novels. Were it not for the war and politics of the time, this novel would have been the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1941 - as the jurors voted unanimously in favor of the award. THIS CAME FROM MY LATE FATHER STEVE KEYSER'S PRIVATE COLLECTION.

Store description
This collection comes from my late dad Steven Keyser. He was an avid collector with a focus on World War 2 and submarine books and collectibles. His collection does span everything from war, music, celebrities , the literary classics and many more. Many of these books are either inscribed or signed. He collected from authentic sources and many times he got the inscription directly from the source.
