Green hills of Africa : a novel

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.

  • "[This edition is in Bulgarian.] 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.

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."@bg
  • ""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 little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave."--ERNEST HEMINGWAY In the winter of 1933, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Pauline set out on a two-month safari in the big-game country of East Africa, camping out on the great Serengeti Plain at the foot of magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. "I had quite a trip," the author 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."@en

  • "Told in his trademark subdued, stripped-down writing style, Green Hills of Africa recounts American writer Ernest Hemingway's December 1933 big-game safari in East Africa. Accompanied by his wife, P.O.M. (Pauline Pfeiffer), Hemingway, aided by local Masai guides, ventures into beautiful, untouched parts of the dark continent on a quest to bring down an elusive kudo. Written during a time when colonial big-game hunting was still an acceptable sport, Green Hills of Africa embodies man's quest to dominate the natural environment. Originally published in serial format in Scribner's Magazine, Green Hills of Africa was released in 1935 to lukewarm critical reception, however, in the years since its original publication, the book has come to represent some of the best of Hemingway's travel writing and an era long since passed.

  • "V knize, vyšlé r. 1935, zachytil velký romanopisec dojmy a zážitky ze své lovecké výpravy do Afriky. Prokládaje barvitá líčení africké přírody a loveckých příhod zamyšleními nad životem, člověkem, světem a úvahami o literatuře aliterátech, vtělil do ní i kus své osobité životní filosofie a zachytil počínající hlubokou proměnu svého myšlení a cítění, která ho - řečeno slovy doslovu - "z příslušníka havanské yankeeské smetánky proměnila v přítele a pomáhačebarbudos za té poslední nádherné revoluce, kterou ještě zažil.""
  • "As Verdes Colinas de Africa divide-se em quatro partes: "caca e conversa", "caca recordada", "caca e derrota", e "caca e felicidade". A histOria que se conta nestes quatro segmentos E a de trEs cacadas com Exito ao leAo, ao bUfalo e ao rinoceronte, e a de uma longa cacada, apenas em parte bem sucedida, ao antIlope. Para quem pensa que Hemingway era uma pessoa incapaz de auto-crItica, o livro serA uma revelacAo. Hemingway, o escritor, escrutina aqui as complexas motivacoes de Hemingway, a personagem, e nAo hesita em criticar este Ultimo por quase ter estragado todo o prazer de uma aventura excepcional, com o seu desejo infantil de provar que E melhor cacador do que o seu amigo Karl. Os leitores a quem a histOria de uma cacada em Africa nAo interessa de forma muito especial tEm de qualquer maneira boas razoes para ler As Verdes Colinas de Africa. Muito em particular por causa do segmento "caca e conversa", onde Hemingway analisa, com uma candura e uma profundidade fora do comum, a sua vida de escritor."@pt
