E. M. Keller’s Reviews > For Whom the Bell Tolls > Status Update

I'm enjoying this so far, but I also don't have the capacity to be researching my books at the moment and I KNOW I am missing so much historical and political context as well as some juicy symbolism I am sure is going straight over my head.

I really need a history lesson on the Spanish Civil War. It's the way I thought this was World War I until I googled "What is the setting of For Whom The Bell Tolls" 😅 this is why I'm such a Penguin Classics stand with their long introductions - I need to be taught the book before I start reading
