An excellent example.<br /> <br /> The UK edition preceded the the US edition by four days.<br /> <br /> "Across the River and Into the Trees first appeared in Cosmopolitan CXXVIII Feb. 1950 - June 1950. Numerous changes additions and omissions were made prior to book publication. For example: "Conte Carlo" was changed to "Count Andrea"; the passages regarding "the Honorable Pacciardi" on pp. 39-41 were added; the passages regarding d'Annunzio on pp. 49-51 were added; the whole of Ch. XXXVII was added; the deletions were filled in; etc. <br /> <br /> Across the River and Into the Trees appeared on the N.Y. Times Book Review's Best Seller List from September 24 1950 to February 11 1951. During the twenty-one weeks that it appeared it was in first place for seven weeks from October 15 to November 26 1950. Twenty-five "advance copies" issued in blue cloth were printed from discarded plates after the first edition was run off. These "advance copies" contain the following errors: On p.21 line 26 "Papadopohi" should read "Papadopoli". On p. 24 line 5 there should be a period after "got" and "o" made a capital in "One". On p. 80 line 21 the second "how" should be omitted." Hanneman pp. 61-62.<br /> <br /> Ernest Hemingway 1899 - 1961. Across the River and Into the Trees was his last novel and tells the story of American Colonel Richard Cantwell during the last day of his life as he recalls his experiences in war and love as a younger man in Venice. Hemingway took the title of this novel from the last words of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson quoted on page 307: "Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." Like much of his writing this novel is highly autobiographical. Also in typical Hemingway fashion Across the River utilizes the Iceberg Theory in which the true essence of the story is not expressly said in the plot but rather is meant to be inferred.<br /> <br /> Hanneman 23A.

Small area of erasure on the title page possibly by the recipient including a tiny area of replaced paper; some foxing to endsheets; lower corners a little bumped; otherwise bright and tight. . 8vo. "Renata" in the novel was based on the recipient of this book Adriana Ivancich whom Hemingway had met in 1949 at a shooting party on the lower Tagliamento. There was certainly an immediate attraction on the part of the author and he pursued the young girl and tolerated her mother and brother who accompanied her on several visits with Hemingway to the Finca. Adriana careful to protect her reputation always maintained that their relationship as portrayed in the novel was fiction while Hemingway tended to suggest the opposite. There seems to be no question that in Hemingway's mind the novel and reality became mixed and his attentions to the young girl were occasionally embarrassing to Adriana and the Hemingways' friends and eventually infuriating to Mary Hemingway.

Set in post-WWII Venice it tells the story of Colonel Richard Cantwell and his bittersweet romance with a young Italian countess - a narrative heavily influenced by Hemingway's own infatuation with Adriana Ivancich. Though initially met with harsh critical reception the work has since been re-evaluated for its elegiac tone and its foreshadowing of the themes found in his later masterpiece 'The Old Man and the Sea'. The title famously derives from the final words of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson: "Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." Hemingway a titan of twentieth-century letters was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.</p> Jonathan Cape hardcover

A poignant tale of a revitalizing love that is found too late-the fleeting connection between an Italian countess and an injured American colonel inspires light and hope while only darkness lies ahead. In the fall of 1948 Ernest Hemingway made his first extended visit to Italy in thirty years. His reacquaintance with Venice a city he loved provided the inspiration for Across the River and into the Trees the story of Richard Cantwell a war-ravaged American colonel stationed in Italy at the close of the Second World War and his love for a young Italian countess. A bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason to the resilience of the human spirit and to the world-weary beauty and majesty of Venice Across the River and into the Trees stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War.

A lovely copy through and through. <br/><br/>¶ References: See Hanneman 44a p. 86 which notes that the "English edition was published September 4 1950 preceding the American edition published on September 7 1950 by three days." Hemingway's first novel in nearly a decade since the publication of For Whom the Bell Tolls 1940 it was first serialized in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1950. Taking its title from the last words of General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson - "Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees" - the book was widely derided by contemporary critics a fact which distressed Hemingway. Nevertheless it was the first of Hemingway's novels to reach the top of the New York Times bestseller list where it remained for seven weeks from October 15 to November 26 1950. It was recently adapted for the screen by Peter Flannery in 2022 starring Liev Schreiber and Matilda De Angelis in the lead roles. Jonathan Cape | Printed at the Alden Press and Bound by A.W.
