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.

In Across the River and into the Trees there is a concept of the same intensity. Like the story of the Spanish civil war which was centered upon a microcosm of action-the tense last days of an American in the midst of a group of guerrilla fighters-the new book limits its scope to a very short span in the life of an American."
