From AudioFile

Fans of Ernest Hemingway will certainly enjoy the story of the author's month-long safari in East Africa in 1933 with his wife, Pauline. Replete with tales about the thrill of chasing big game, the joys of the kill, and the lushness of the scenery, this is truly classic Hemingway. It also serves as further proof that you either love his unique style or you don't. Narrator Josh Lucas clearly understands the author and delivers the material with a resonance and assurance that add to Hemingway's confident and passionate tone. Lucas has a fine sense of timing, along with a deft ability to add subtle yet distinct emphasis to key scenes.

Product Description

His second major venture into nonfiction (after Death in the Afternoon, 1932), 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 of 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in -- and fascination with -- big-game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. In examining the poetic grace of the chase, and the ferocity of the kill, Hemingway also looks inward, seeking to explain the lure of the hunt and the primal undercurrent that comes alive on the plains of Africa. Yet Green Hills of Africa is also 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.

Hemingway's rich description of the beauty and strangeness of the land and his passion for the sport of hunting combine to give Green Hills of Africa the freshness and immediacy of a deeply felt personal experience that is the hallmark of the greatest travel writing.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Romp Thru Imperial Africa, Sep 22 2002
Par nick mace "kevmel90" (Dixon, Illinois USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Green Hills of Africa (Hardcover)
Hemingway takes a trek through an Africa still largely ruled by "burdoned" white men. He tries to explain why assaulting the native creatures of the dark continent is acceptable (he ate what he killed after all!) But the most intriguing parts of "Green Hills" were not stalking wildlife through tall grass. Rather, Hemingway's most poignant recollections lie in describing the interpersonal relations, the ups and downs, between American and European hunters.

Throughout the entire quest for game, Papa stresses that time is limited by an impending rainy season as well as available funds. He goes on then to remark that hunters are not the only people whose life plans are upset by capitalism. He points out that artists and writers also fall victim to a world whose interpersonal works ravage most of us.

3.0étoiles sur 5 For hunters only, Fév 3 2002
I am a huge fan of Hemingway. For whom the bell tolls is among my favorite books ever. But this one just didn't come close to Hemingway's greatest books. The green hills of Africa is a book about hunting. A team of hunters go to Africa to hunt kudu. And we follow in the teams tracks as they search for prey. It manages to capture the reader's interest, but unless you are a hunter yourself, it will not be a great book. There is not enough going on. But the book isn't bad, it's a good book. Just not one worthy of Hemingway. If your're a huge fan of him, read it, but if your're not don't! Read for whom the bell tolls instead, if you haven't already.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The next best thing to being there, Mai 15 2001
Par Un client
I read this book on a trip through South-East Asia, and it almost made me feel like I was in Africa instead. It's a true story, an account of a real safari, and Hemingway manages to make his readers feel his exitement, share his disappointment, and feel the same burning envy he must have felt seeing the trophy of his friend dwarfing the one of his own. A great story, maybe not quite so pretentious than some of his better known works, but still a hugely fun read.

For ten bucks, you can't get any closer to Africa than that.
