<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A middle-aged American colonel, scarred by war and failing health, finds love with a young Italian countess at the very moment his life is becoming a physical hardship. Spanning only a matter of hours, this exquisite novel is tender, moving, and tragic. Set in Venice at the close of World War II, Hemingway's poignant and bittersweet story is now available in a beautiful Scribner Classics edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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.</b> <p/>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 <i>Across the River and into the Trees, </i> 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. <p/>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, <i>Across the River and into the Trees</i> stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of <i>The Sun Also Rises</i> and <i>A Farewell to Arms</i> immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel <i>The</i> <i>Old Man and the Sea</i> won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, <i>Hemingway</i>. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.
