The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories

By: Ernest Hemingway

Narrated by: Stacy Keach

The ideal introduction to the genius of Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories contains ten of Hemingway's most acclaimed and popular works of short fiction.

Selected from Winner Take Nothing, Men Without Women, and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories, this collection includes "The Killers," the first of Hemingway's mature stories to be accepted by an American periodical; the autobiographical "Fathers and Sons," which alludes, for the first time in Hemingway's career, to his father's suicide; "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," a "brilliant fusion of personal observation, hearsay and invention," wrote Hemingway's biographer, Carlos Baker; and the title story itself, of which Hemingway said: "I put all the true stuff in," with enough material, he boasted, to fill four novels. Beautiful in their simplicity, startling in their originality, and unsurpassed in their craftsmanship, the stories in this volume highlight one of America's master storytellers at the top of his form.(P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

Two great short stories

Didn’t care too much for the middle but the 1st and last were GREAT. The last had a great unexpected ending

Amazing book

Although not my favorite, the descriptions of Africa and hunting are wonderful. The storyline was dark for me and caused me great sadness.

Genuine Hemingway!

Read by a dramatic master! Wonderful to imagine what the thrill of a big game hunt is like. Already know what an unfaithful wife is like.
