Overview
Nueva traducción de una de las últimas novelas del Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway. Un triste óleo de la vejez, el hastío, el amor, la vida y la muerte.El coronel Richard Cantwell, enfermo y al borde del retiro, decide pasar sus últimos días en la hermosa e invernal Venecia bajo el pretexto de cazar patos para encontrarse allí con Renata, una joven aristócrata con quien mantiene un amor prohibido. El viejo militar hallará a su lado el gozo del que se ha visto privado toda su vida. Pero también allí, paseando por calles frías y rodeado del lento e implacable devenir del agua de los canales, rememorará sus hazañas bélicas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que le legaron solamente recuerdos, la amistad con el maître de un hotel y una mano izquierda atrofiada.
A través de la mirada desencantada de Cantwell y de una prosa inconfundible, vívida e hiriente, Al otro lado del río y entre los árboles es una obra sobrecogedora, escrita con la sensibilidad única de un autor irrepetible.
Tenesse Williams dijo...
«La novela más triste del mundo en la ciudad más triste del mundo. La mejor obra de Hemingway, la más delicada y honesta.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the fall of 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 Across the River and into 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, and to the worldweary beauty and majesty of Venice, Across the River and into the Trees stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War. Hemingway's last full-length novel published in his lifetime, it moved John O'Hara in The New York Times Book Review to call him "the most important author since Shakespeare."
