헤밍웨이는 통신사 특파원 자격으로 내전을 취재한 후 그 경험을 살려 이 소설을 썼다. 자신이 체험한 전쟁의 잔혹함과 비인간적인 모습을 생생하게 묘사하는 한편으로, 이전 작품에서는 드러나지 않던 공동의 가치나 연대의 중요성을 부각시켰다. <누구를 위하여 종은 울리나>는 보다 긍정적이고 원숙해진 헤밍웨이의 사회의식이 처음으로 발견되는 작품인 것이다.
헤밍웨이는 자신의 작품이 "바다 위에 떠 있는 빙산과 같아서 8분의 1에 해당하는 부분만이 수면에 떠 있고 나머지 8분의 7은 수면 아래 가라앉아 있다."라고 말한 바 있는데, 김욱동 교수(한국외대)는 2009년부터 그의 작품들을 번역을 해 오면서 이러한 문체적 특성을 살리는 데 중점을 두었다.
'하드보일드 스타일'이라 불리는 간결한 표현 속에 다양한 의미를 숨겨 둔 헤밍웨이의 문장 하나하나를 여러 각도로 고민하여 그 어감을 최대한 살리면서도 한국 독자들이 쉽게 이해할 수 있게 번역하려고 애썼다. 또한 스페인어를 그대로 노출해 지역적 특징을 드러낸 부분도 원문 그대로, 그러나 그 의도와 느낌은 해치지 않도록 하는 데도 고심했다. '민음사 세계문학전집' 288-289권.

Readers and scholars acquainted with the novels of Hemingway all become, at one point, cognizant of his hero code; a personal philosophical system established by the author in order to give his characters a means to overcome the meaninglessness of the chaotic modern world. For Whom the Bell Tolls marks a shift in this code; a behavioral and even moral alteration carried on by Robert Jordan, and clearly visible in all what differentiates him from Jake in The Sun Also Rises for Instance.In a manner, Robert Jordan and the protagonist of The Old Man and the Sea are similar in that they both carry on tasks that seem absurdly fruitless. Except that in Santiago's case, the relentless duel with the Marlin fish is a quest for self-affirmation, the acceptance of life as absurd and meaningless, as well as the perseverance to enjoy it without attempting to question its foundation or require a set purpose for it. Robert Jordan, however, is different, for he perceives his quest as meaningful even if such a meaning would eventually cost him both his life and the people he loves. Most importantly, the destruction of the bridge, which is the meaningful task he strives to accomplish, comes at the high price of an absurd mission that is all but doomed to failure and annihilation. In this manner, Jordan's code differs from all other Hemingway heroes in that it strengthenes his ties with humanity and reaffirms the novel's epigraph by John Donne : No man is an island.It is important to note that Robert Jordan struggles with his thoughts, with his father's memory, as well as his professional assessment of the situation as almost hopeless, but in spite of everything his moral code allows him to remain a man who respects himself, a man capable of loving life even on the brink of death, which makes of him the most ambitious of Hemingway's heroes.Alongside his personal philosophical system, Hemingway had imbued his novel with modernist techniques that placed the book among the movement's best representatives. Some such techniques include the nonlinearity of time, stream of consciousness, and the subjective experience of time.
