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

Interior pages are clean. <br /> <br /> Early in 1918 Ernest Hemingway joined the Italian Red Cross and served as an ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. During his time abroad Hemingway had two experiences that affected him profoundly and that would later inspire one of his most celebrated novels A Farewell to Arms. The first occurred on July 8 1918 when a trench mortar shell struck him while he crouched beyond the front lines with three Italian soldiers. Though Hemingway embellished the story over the years it is certain that he was transferred to a hospital in Milan where he fell in love with a Red Cross nurse named Agnes von Kurowsky. Scholars are divided over Agnes' role in Hemingway's life and writing but there is little doubt that his relationship with her informed the relationship between Lieutenant Henry and Catherine Barkley in A Farewell to Arms. What unfolds is a story filled with romance intertwined with moments of bravery danger love and loss.<br /> <br /> Please view the many other rare titles available for purchase at our store.
