In this poignant novel, where the most intense action unfolds within the characters, Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway once again demonstrates his stylistic precision and the profound understanding of the human soul that forever marked his literary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\"\"Begun in the early months of 1949, when the author was spending his holidays in Italy, in Cortina d'Ampezzo – which he loved so much and which brought back so many memories of good and bitter times –, continued in Finca Vigia, his farm near Havana, completed and revised in Venice in the early months of the following year, \u003cem\u003eAcross the River, Among the Trees\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates once again the formal precision with which Hemingway wrote: the direct language, the short brushstrokes, the whole described with the meticulous accuracy of the details, the real characters, almost palpable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe story of Colonel Cantwell, whose life hangs by a thread—his failing coronary arteries could end him at any moment—and his love for a young Italian countess, Renata, is poignant. A mature, experienced, and suffering man, whose body and spirit still bear the scars of World War II, Cantwell knows he will die soon and passionately surrenders himself to the last pleasures life can offer. He looks back on his life, realizing it could have been worse, and even without fully realizing his wildest dreams, he concludes it was worth living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eCantwell had always been prey to an inner conflict, a private contradiction between violence and delicacy, between brutality and tenderness. Now, in the woods near Venice, with autumn gilding the trees, a true and lost love seems to completely humanize him, highlighting the good within him, stifling the hardness and dryness that his military career had imposed on him for so long. An introspective novel, in which the most intense action takes place on the invisible plane, \u003cem\u003e*Across the River, Among the Trees*\u003c\/em\u003e is a love story. — Ênio Silveira\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176095858940,"sku":"9788528618938","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/7e42a81b09745bd3834fbb1bfbeb1d67.jpg?v=1781150432","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/do-outro-lado-do-rio-entre-as-arvores","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
