The war has just ended. In Venice, a city described here in every detail and with love, Richard Cantwell, an American colonel, passionately falls in love with Renata, a young Italian countess with a "profile that could break your heart and any other."
Cantwell is a man marked by war, who could be her father. Yet he is overwhelmed by the candid and fresh love that Renata offers him. However, we are not faced with a fairy tale. The war may have ended, but its wounds have not healed. And for some, the long-awaited peace comes too late.
One of the most powerful and heartbreaking novels written by Hemingway, with the main theme being the human inability to capture his lost youth, the first he wrote after "For Whom the Bell Tolls," which was published ten years earlier.
