Ernest Hemingway, who lived from 1899-1961, was an American novelist and short story writer and winner of the 1954 NOBEL PRIZE in LITERATURE. Hemingway was married four times: Hadley Richardson, his second wife, an Arkansas heiress, Pauline Pfeiffer, third wife writer, Martha Gellhorn, and his fourth wife, Mary Walsh. "Across the River and Into the Trees" is set in and around Venice, Italy, during World War 2. The title is derived from the last words of U.S. Civil War Confederate General Thomas J. "Stonewall Jackson" who said, "Let's cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees." The novel opens with Colonel RICHARD CANTWELL, a 50-year-old U.S. Army officer, duck hunting near Venice, Italy, at the close of World War 2. Most of the novel takes the form of a lengthy flashback, detailing his experiences in Italy during World War I. Cantwell has a heart condition. The narrative also deals with his star-crossed romance with a Venetian woman named Renata who is thirty years his junior. "Yesterday he had driven down from Trieste to Venice along the old road that ran from Monfalcone to Latisana and across the flat country." 308 pages----a GORGEOUS book! I offer combined shipping.
