Annotation
Reader’s companion providing an overview of the novel’s literary and historical contexts and critical reception, as well as a discussion of Hemingway’s ties to Spain and the politics of the Spanish civil war. Considers Hemingway “apolitical,” a writer who relied heavily on authorial invention rather than historical fact to create a novel “above and beyond politics and partisanship.” Features a close reading of character, setting, and action.
