Ernest Hemingway - A folyón át a fák közé

"...an American colonel tries to discover the beauties of Venice, as he saw it at the time, during the First World War, while he is aware that he has only a short time left in his life..."
(Circus)

The story of a love that arrived late, which gives the wounded American colonel new strength, his heart is filled with hope and light, but the future holds only darkness.

In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway returned to Italy and stayed for a long time. He hadn't been to the country for thirty years then. This novel captures the rediscovery of his beloved Venice, which takes place shortly before the end of the Second World War. Richard Cantwell is an American colonel stationed in Italy who falls in love with a young Italian countess.

A bittersweet, nostalgic story about love, which is stronger than reason, about the constancy of the human spirit, about the sublime, yet dark beauty of Venice. Across the river into the trees is Hemingway's reaction to the inhumane, terrible destruction of World War II.
