- Annotation
- Although there is no evidence that Hemingway ever read an Icelandic saga, North finds a thematic resonance in the scene in For Whom the Bell Tolls in which Pilar recounts her husband Pablo's violent assault on Franco's civil guard. He traces this "model of manly indifference to death" to a contemporary retelling of a Viking tale, Eric Linklater's The Men of Ness, a text Hemingway owned and likely read before composing his novel of the Spanish Civil War.
