It won a Pulitzer in 1945 the year after it was first published and while the Second World War was grinding to an end. I am about to start Chapter 23 which is two thirds of the way to the end. I decided to record the Foreward and the first chapter last night and to see if I could figure out how to post the reading here. I used my cell phone&#8217;s voice recorder app. Its not a fancy studio recording and I made some mistakes and I also hammed it up with 1940&#8217;s Hollywoodish &#8220;Eyetalian&#8221; accents. Hershey was just building on a kind of writing pioneered by Mark Twain in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Eyetalians might feel a bit sterotyped by Hershey&#8217;s depiction of them today the Americans get the same treatment. Find this book and read it all. Its a short read and it will help you feel like you&#8217;re washing a whole lot of today&#8217;s politics out of your system.<\/p>\n<p>A Bell for Adano <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/InternetPics\/Adano%20Audio\/Adano%20Foreward.m4a\">Foreward<\/a> 4 minutes<\/p>\n<p>A Bell for Adano <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/InternetPics\/Adano%20Audio\/Adano%20Ch%201%20A.m4a\">Chapter 1 part A<\/a> 26 minutes<\/p>\n<p>A Bell for Adano <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/InternetPics\/Adano%20Audio\/Adano%20Ch%201B.m4a\">Chapter 1 part B<\/a> 19 minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love this book.
