“You have never heard me talk much. But an intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend his time with fools.”
Hemingway’s classic novel set in the late 1930s during the Spanish Civil War—the story follows Robert Jordan, an American living in Spain and fighting on the side of the anti-fascists as he undergoes a dangerous mission behind enemy lines.
