Across the River and Into the Trees

Across the River and Into the Trees

Ernest Hemingway

The novel (first published in 1950) follows the last days of Colonel Richard Cantwell, an experienced American soldier, in post-war Venice. The work explores themes of love, war and loss, imbued with Hemingway's signature minimalist style.

Cantwell, a 50-year-old World War II veteran, is facing terminal heart disease. In Venice, the city he loves, he spends the weekend with 19-year-old Renata, a young Italian woman with whom he shares a passionate but melancholic love. Their relationship, marked by tenderness and age differences, forms the emotional core of the novel. Through conversations and walks, Cantwell recalls his war experiences, losses and disappointments, especially the Battle of Rapid, where his decisions led to heavy losses.

The novel takes place over 48 hours, mixing present moments with Cantwell's memories of war, hunting and past loves. Venice, with its canals and history, serves as a symbol of transience and beauty. Cantwell's struggle with illness and mortality underscores his desire to live life to the fullest, despite his imminent end.

Hemingway's style, with concise dialogue and vivid descriptions, creates an intimate yet tragic atmosphere. Although criticized for its sentimentality, the novel reflects the author's own reflection on aging and death. Cantwell's story ends quietly but powerfully, affirming the power of life despite loss.

Tim Powers

Povijesno-fantastična pustolovina smještena u zlatno doba piratstva početkom 18. stoljeća. Roman je poslužio kao inspiracija za četvrti film iz serijala Pirati s Kariba: Nepoznate plime (2011.), iako film značajno odstupa od originalne radnje.
