Ernest Hemingway’s first novel in a decade, the first since “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” holds the essential emotion of that phenomenally successful book. In Across the River and into the Trees there is a concept of the same intensity. Like the story of the Spanish civil war, which was centered upon a microcosm of action–the tense last days of an American in the midst of a group of guerrilla fighters–the new book limits its scope to a very short span in the life of an American.” (Publisher)
