Across the River and Into the Trees

A middle-aged American colonel, scarred by war and failing health, finds love with a young Italian countess at the very moment his life is becoming a physical hardship. Spanning only a matter of hours, this exquisite novel is tender, moving, and tragic. Set in Venice at the close of World War II, Hemingway's poignant and bittersweet story is now available in a beautiful Scribner Classics edition.
