Product Description
“There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things, and because it takes a man’s life to know them the small new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to place.”
— ERNEST HEMINGWAY
In the winter of 1933, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Pauline set out on a two-month safari in the huge-game country of East Africa, camping out on the fantastic Serengeti Unadorned at the foot of magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. “I had reasonably a trip,” the leader told his friend Philip Percival, with characteristic understatement.
Green Hills of Africa is Hemingway’s account of that expedition, of what it taught him about Africa and himself. Richly evocative of the region’s natural beauty, tremendously alive to its character, culture, and customs, and pregnant with a hard-won wisdom gained from the extraordinary situations it describes, it is widely held to be one of the twentieth century’s classic travelogues.

this book is annoying. hemmingway’s ego is out of control as he tries to make a huge man of himself by shooting his way through an array of animals that of course mean him no harm at all. though i like much of his early work, this book makes him seem a truly horrible person. no marvel he had a long string of failed relationships and ultimatley killed himself. who could live with a jackass like this. in the end, he couldn’t even stand to live with himself. this is an nearly worthless book.

I didn’t like it. Not much happened and the amusing parts weren’t amusing. Read something else.

It is hard to judge that he who wrote FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS wrote this. I am not an animal rights advocate but one cannot help but root for the animals as Ernest and his cronies blast away at them with high powered rifles. If only that buffalo could have backtracked on them…. And the racist, sexist, and even agist musings are disgusting. Drunkards stagger across Africa killing animals, cutting the heads and horns off, and leaving them to rot . Revolting.

I establish this writing less appealing than Rossevelt or Rourk work bought at the same time. Perhaps the critics opinions are not permanently the best way to judge a work.

i really loved reading this book beacuase i reflect that it is very well written. Hemingway uses clear depictions of not only the setting but also the characters whom are involved in the tale. the details of the setting clearly lay out a picture of what he and his wife saw while on their safari in Africa. i also loved the dactual aspect of the novel beacause it remind me of africa.
This book Green hills of Africa is a tale written through the journal entries of its leader, Ernest Hemingway. It tells of the journey he and his wife, Pauline took for one month in Africa. this safari journey took place in kenya and its surrounding areass in 1933. Hemingway describes through his writings the beauty of the the African savannah. Large parts of his writing are also devoted to copious kinds of animals life that roam Africa and their behaviors
Although i did painstakingly delight in this novel, there are some who maybe not like the tale behind it. this is a very lively and adventurous, no fictional tale that would need an equally adventurous person to really get into the tale. therefore, i would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys the outdoors, especially the beauty of the Africa, and also soeone who could appreciate the animals and species of Africa. But, the reader must also be aware that the tale surrounds itseft with the hunting and gaming of Africa.
