Description

Across the River and Into the Trees by Ernest Hemingway is set in post-war Venice, where a wounded American Colonel finds himself drawn to a young Italian countess. Her beauty and selflessness offer him a fleeting escape from his own emotional scars. However, this is no romantic fantasy - the wounds of war still linger, and some men find that peace comes too late. The story explores the complexities of human relationships in the aftermath of conflict, where the boundaries between love and obsession can become increasingly blurred. Hemingway's distinctive prose brings a sense of simplicity and honesty to this poignant tale. Published in 1994, this edition offers a new perspective on a lesser-known work by one of America's most celebrated writers.
