For who the bll tolls

For whom the Bell Tolls is a novel by Ernest Hemingway publish on 21st October 1940. it tells the story about Robert Jordan, a young American in the International brigades attached to a unit during the Spanish Civil War. Robert was assigned to blow up a bridge during an attack on the city of Segovia.
The novel has three types of characters, those who are purely fictional, those based on real people but but fictionalize and those who were actual figures in the war.

For Whom the Bell Tolls became a book of the month choice, and sold half a million copies within months and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

for me personally the novel isn't my kind of book choice to read but now researching it i find the story line interesting. still persently reading it, and it will be the first novel of its kind i have read.
