"The Spanish Earth", Written and Narrated by Ernest Hemingway


Ernest Hemingway, during the Spanish Civil War, about 1937
"German warplanes cross the sky. Explosions flash. Shell-shocked villagers stagger out of their damaged homes and begin to grieve. 'Before,' says Ernest Hemingway in his flat Midwestern accent, 'death came when you were old or sick. But now it comes to all this village. High in the sky and shining silver, it comes to all who have no place to run, no place to hide.' The scene is from the 1937 film The Spanish Earth, an important visual document of the Spanish Civil War and a rare record of the famous writer’s voice."
