The action takes place in Venice in the aftermath of World War II. Europe is thinking about its wounds. Historian Charles Whiting once remarked that Ernest Hemingway's novel "Across the River and Into the Trees" was "bitter, irrational, and cynical." This view was in keeping with its critical reception upon its release in 1950, which was overwhelmingly negative -- the first Hemingway novel ever to take a critical drubbing. And in truth it is not a very good novel, though like nearly everything Hemingway wrote, it contained more-than-occasional flashes of profundity and what might be called observational genius. But it seems to me that calling a Hemingway piece "bitter, irrational and cynical" is like calling a bomb heavy, noisy and destructive. It's an accurate description, but not an intelligent one. Nearly everything Hemingway ever wrote was bitter and cynical, and his characters seldom if ever acted in a rational manner: that was part, if not nearly all, of his literary signature. The flaws that cripple "Across the River" are not bitterness, cynicism or irrationality, but aimlessness and repetition. E’ proprio vero: a volte e inaspettatamente i consigli migliori vengono da dove meno ci si aspetterebbe.Hemingway worked on the book from 1949 to 1950 in four different places: he started writing during the winter of 1949 in Italy at Cortina D'Ampezzo; continued upon his return home to Cuba; finished the draft in Paris; and completed revisions in Venice in the winter of 1950.

Questo libro, scritto da Hemingway a distanza di dieci anni da "Per chi suona la campana" e venti da "Addio alle armi", è ambientato in una Venezia invernale. A lo falso de la historia y lo alargado del texto se une que su parte bélica, compuesta por los recuerdos del enfermo coronel durante la II Guerra Mundial, tampoco gozan de interés y menos aún de pegada.Il colonnello soggiorna all’hotel Gritti di Venezia e ama riamato Renata una giovane aristocratica veneziana in un rapporto quasi figliale. Voy por la página 238, sólo faltan 13 paginitas, pero tengo miedo que al mirar de nuevo hayan crecido espontáneamente otras 100. Hemingway es criticado por nabokovianos y faulknerianos y este título, sin duda de los más flojos de su producción, es un flanco débil por el que atacarle sin compasión. Cualquier disparo dará en el blanco.

Economical and understated style of Hemingway strongly influenced 20th-century fiction, whereas his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. He published seven novels, six short story collections and two nonfiction works. Survivors published posthumously three novels, four collections of short stories, and three nonfiction works. People consider many of these classics.Huston’s casting uniquely fills a family legacy. The actor’s Oscar-winning filmmaker father John Huston —often referred to as the “Hemingway of Cinema”— in 1976 optioned and adapted a screenplay for Across the River and Into the Trees. His intention was to have RobertMitchum play the lead, Maria Schneider asRenata, andMarcello Mastroianni as the Gran Maestro. John considered Hemingway:a veryclose personal friend,” with the twospending significant timetogether in Cuba. They remained friends till the end: when Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for The Old Man And The Sea, Huston sent a telegram that read, “Great, Papa, Great!” Mi sentivo come un pigmeo tra Titani o, secondo i punti di vista, un Titano tra pigmei, ma ad un certo punto proprio uno fra i sei Alongside Tribune’s MacLean, John Smallcombe and Ken Gord are also producing Across the River and Into the Trees. William J. Immerman, Michael and Laura Paletta, andJustin Raikes areexecutive producers. Andrea Biscaro is the film’s Italian co-producer. Filomena Cusano is production counsel. The Exchange is handling international sales rights with UTA looking after the U.S. And while Across the River and Into the Trees. is second rate Hemingway, second rate Hemingway is still better than most writers first-rate work. Charles Oliver writes the novel shows a central Hemingway theme of "maintaining control over one's life, even in the face of terrible odds." Cantwell knows he is dying and faces death "with the dignity which he believes he has maintained throughout his military service." [13] Oliver thinks the two male characters, Cantwell and Alvarito, have an unstated understanding – both men love Renata, but Cantwell accepts and is happy to know Renata will almost certainly marry Alvarito. Within hours of dying, he says to himself: "You have said goodbye to your girl and she has said goodbye to you. That is certainly simple". [13] The theme of death is central in Hemingway's writings and his characters routinely achieve redemption at the moment of death, which can be seen as a form of existentialism. Jean-Paul Sartre believed to face death well is to live a heightened existence. [23]

William J. Immerman will executive produce. I think Across the River and into the Trees has a meaningful and useful place among the novels that were published in Hemingway's lifetime. I consider it a study, or a preliminary sketch, even though Hemingway probably never thought about this book in that way, until it was too late. Poi lei entrò nella stanza, splendente di giovinezza e di slanciata bellezza e del disordine che il vento le aveva fatto nei capelli. But Hemingway's downfall in dialogue is what I find to be interesting. Hemingway tried something new, failed, and went on to write a similar book that would win the Pulitzer and Nobel Prizes. In The Old Man and the Sea, Hemingway kept and built upon the truths concerning the decay of his body and his usefulness, but he avoided the need for prolonged dialogue about the emotions that such realities instill. He basically used the best parts of Across the River and into the Trees and enhanced them in The Old Man and the Sea.
