Al otro lado del rio y entre los arboles /Across The River And Into The Trees

Ernest Hemingway

Nueva traduccion de una de las ultimas novelas del Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway. Un triste oleo de la vejez, el hastio, el amor, la vida y la muerte.El coronel Richard Cantwell, enfermo y al borde del retiro, decide pasar sus ultimos dias en la hermosa e invernal Venecia bajo el pretexto de cazar patos para encontrarse alli con Renata, una joven aristocrata con quien mantiene un amor prohibido. El viejo militar hallara a su lado el gozo del que se ha visto privado toda su vida. Pero tambien alli, paseando por calles frias y rodeado del lento e implacable devenir del agua de los canales, rememorara sus hazanas belicas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que le legaron solamente recuerdos, la amistad con el maitre de un hotel y una mano izquierda atrofiada.

A traves de la mirada desencantada de Cantwell y de una prosa inconfundible, vivida e hiriente, Al otro lado del rio y entre los arboles es una obra sobrecogedora, escrita con la sensibilidad unica de un autor irrepetible.

Tenesse Williams dijo…

La novela mas triste del mundo en la ciudad mas triste del mundo. La mejor obra de Hemingway, la mas 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.
