- Annotation
- Treats Hemingway s identification of his Anglo-American heroes, Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises and Robert Jordan of For Whom the Bell Tolls, with the ideologically fascist infused blood and soil myth of 1920s and 1930s Spain. While Jake the tourist represents the instability of the first stage of the myth, Robert is the fully rooted and earth infused nonimpotent version of Jake in the second stage of the myth. Discusses at length the anti-Semitism and myth of the wandering Jew found in The Sun Also Rises.
