In these Hemingway stories, which are partly autobiographical, men and women of passion live, fight, love and die in scenes of dramatic intensity. They range from hauntingly tragedy on the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, to brutal America with its deceptive calm, and war-ravaged Europe.
Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.

Spring is coming to the small towns of Michigan, but the snow still covers the land when Scripps O'Neil sets of for Chicago, decides to stop a while in Petoskey, and meets up with Yogi Johnson. Subtitled "A Romantic Novel in Honour of the Passing of a Great Race", this work parodies the themes and styles of the 'great race' of writers.
“Alles was ich jetzt wollte war, nach Afrika zurückzukommen.” Nur zehn Monate seines Lebens verbrachte der spätere Nobelpreisträger Ernest Hemingway in Afrika – doch der Kontinent ließ ihn nicht mehr los. Hemingway schrieb Reportagen, er ging auf Großwildjagd und überlebte zwei Flugzeugabstürze, während die Zeitungen schon seinen Tod meldeten. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Geschichten, Reportagen und Texte Hemingways über den Ort, an dem er am glücklichsten gewesen ist.
