His reacquaintance with Venice, a city he loved, provided the inspiration for \u003ci\u003eAcross the River and into the Trees,\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eAcross the River and into the Trees\u003c\/i\u003e stands as Hemingway's statement of defiance in response to the great dehumanizing atrocities of the Second World War.
