"Hemingway, Ernest - Across the River and Into the Trees" - читать интересную книгу автора (Hemingway Ernest)

THIS IS A NOVEL OF GREATNESS ...

... a tense, stark story of daysЧhoursЧminutes, and of the savage hope that still can goad a man who knows there is no hope ... a man who has lived a lifetime and is not yet old, but whose heart is weary, wounded, and turned toward death. ...
It is the story of post-war Venice and of Colonel Richard Cantwell, a lonely, battle-scarred man of fierce embittered pride ... and of the beautiful young Italian countess who offers him love, tender and selfless. It is the poignant, powerful story of the few rich hours they share ... hauntingly checkered hoursЧdark with the inexorable shadow of deathЧbright with a deep and moving love. It is a story of torment, passion and elemental courage, superbly told by one of the worldТs greatest writers.
