Ilustration To Books Across the River and into the Trees

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 poignant, bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason, to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the worldweary 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. Hemingway's last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review to call him "the most important author since Shakespeare."

Assessment Containing Books Across the River and into the Trees

This novel is positively dreadful. One of the ten worst Ive read. In homage to The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms, one gives Hem the benefit of the doubt, believing he never would have published this disaster in any but short-story form had he been alive when it was released to the public. This novel didnt have 50 pages worth reading.You are my one and last and true love, and I love you truly. If Hemingway would have written anything that bad in his prime, he surely wouldnt have repeated

Simple IS genius. No one does the Iceberg Theory better than Hemingway himself, whatever that is. Hemingway penned this book in his usual minimalist style and it was panned by the critics and readers alike upon its initial release. After being snubbed by everyone, Hemingway returned in full form with the Old Man and the Sea, which won the Nobel Prize for fiction. But I luhv luhv this book. (Or I pretend to)Strangely enough, it reminds me of the vastly underrated Mario Puzos infinitely more

When Hemingway wrote this novel, he may have known that his masterpieces were behind him. Although this novel is a lesser work, there are moments of tenderness, poignancy and power crafted in his trademark miminalist style that linger. The novel concerns a retired Army Colonel, who has fought in brutal combat, near the end of his life and is desperately in love with a much younger woman. To me the woman signified the Colonel's lost youth and the relationship may take on new meaning if one views

I loved this book. But then again I read it in Verona Porta Nuova station after visiting Venice, waiting for a night train to Paris, in the rain, and I think this may well be the best book to read in Verona Porta Nuova station after visiting Venice, waiting for a night train to Paris, in the rain.

I read most of this fictional story about an American colonel in Venice shortly after WWII, but after a time the dialog was too boring, so I decided to read the last two pages and put it down. As it turned out upon reading the end, the story concluded on a very predictable path.I would not say that this was one of Hemingway's better novels. By the way, this book was published in 1950, not in 1920 as is shown on the goodreads resource site.



One of the last novels that Hemingway wrote, this is a quick and accessible read. The average chapter length is only six pages, and there is far more dialogue than exposition. Hemingway's signature spare, direct style is well in evidence here. Given his gruff, muscular tone and predilections for war, drinking, fighting, and love, the novel is refreshingly devoid of obscenity.The story is of an older American former Army colonel who is in love with a teenage Italian countess. The narrative covers
