In nov 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 Over the River and in to 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, also to the worldweary beauty and majesty of Venice, Over the River and in to the Trees stands as Hemingways statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War. Hemingways last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John OHara in THE BRAND NEW York Times Book Review to call him the most significant author since Shakespeare.
