Crossing the River into the Forest

About This Novel

The title of "Across the River and into the Woods\u002F The Complete Works of Hemingway" comes from the words of Confederate general Thomas Jackson during the American Civil War before his death, "Let us cross the river and rest in the shade of the trees." As he grew older, the protagonist, Colonel Cantwell, became increasingly depressed, so he visited Venice and went to northern Italy to pay homage to the battlefield where he was injured, which aroused his painful memories and reflections on the two world wars. While traveling in Venice, Cantwell developed an innocent and merciless love with the beautiful Italian girl Renata.
