Across the River and Into the Trees.
1950125633London: Jonathan Cape 1950. First English edition of Hemingway's bestselling novel. Octavo original cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Hans Tisdall. Set in Venice at the close of World War II Across the River and into the Trees is the bittersweet story of a middle-aged American colonel scarred by war and in failing health who finds love with a young Italian countess at the very moment when his life is becoming a physical hardship to him. It is a love so overpowering and spontaneous that it revitalizes the man's spirit and encourages him to dream of a future even though he knows that there can be no hope for long. Spanning a matter of hours Across the River and into the Trees is tender and moving yet tragic in the inexorable shadow of what must come. "Hemingway is the most important author since Shakespeare" The New York Times Book Review. Jonathan Cape hardcover books
