Barron's Inc. is one of America's leading publishers of education and business information. Barron's Booknotes are the company's popular guides to great works of literature. The Booknotes are an excellent aid for students as well as for anyone interested in hearing another voice or perspective as they read the classics.

Each Booknote guide is written by a respected academic and/or educator and includes classic literary criticism of the work in question, a biography of the author, the author's life and work in the context of the times, and detailed analyses of plot, character, and the literary qualities of the work. There are 101 Booknotes on 109 titles published by Barron's which focus on a variety of historical, classical and cultural texts.


For Whom the Bell Tolls tells the engrossing tale of Robert Jordan, an American supporter of the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Within a short span of some 68 hours, Jordan's involvement with a band of guerrillas- notably a young woman named Maria, with whom he falls in love- forces him to question his own participation in a war that seems unwinnable and to realize that the sacrifice of life for the sake of a political cause may be too high a price to pay.
