Near fine condition black cloth boards with a front cover Ernest Hemingway gold facsimile signature and faded spine lettering. Includes Preliminary Page List of Books by Ernest Hemingway; Dedication; and Preliminary Page Note. The rear blank free endpaper to a much lesser extent the blank rear inner board contains some old glue residue. All other pages are otherwise in fine condition and the spine is exceedingly tight and square. (see photographs). The copyright page contains the requisite "A", indicating a first Scribner edition. "A poignant tale of a revitalizing love that is found too late - the fleeting connection between an Italian countess and an injured American colonel inspires light and hope, while only darkness lies ahead. In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway made his first extended visit to Italy in thirty years. His re-acquaintance with Venice, a city he loved, provided the inspiration for Across the River and Into the Trees, the story of Richard Cantwell, a war-ravagedAmerican colonel stationed in Italy at the close of the Second World War, and his love for a young Italian countess. A bittersweet homage to love that overpowers reason, to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the world-weary beauty and majesty of Venice, [the book] stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War." - from goodreads dot com.
