Notes : | Green Hills of Africa is a 1935 work of nonfiction by American writer Ernest Hemingway. Hemingway's second work of nonfiction, Green Hills of Africa is an account of a month on safari he and his wife, Pauline Marie Pfeiffer, took in East Africa during December 1933. Green Hills of Africa is divided into four parts: "Pursuit and Conversation", "Pursuit Remembered", "Pursuit and Failure", and "Pursuit as Happiness", each of which plays a different role in the story.
Much of the narrative describes Hemingway's adventures hunting in East Africa, interspersed with ruminations about literature and authors. Generally the East African landscape Hemingway describes is in the region of Lake Manyara in Tanzania.
Green Hills of Africa (1935) initially appeared in serialization in Scribner's Magazine, and was published in 1935. An autobiographical account of his 1933 trip to Africa, Hemingway presents the subject of big game hunting in a non-fiction form in Green Hills of Africa. The serialization occurred from May to November 1935. The book was published on 25 October 1935 to a first edition print-run of 10,500 copies. | | |
Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | | Metsästysretki Keniassa, mukana Hemingway, hänen vaimonsa, mies jota sanotaan Karliksi, kaksi safarinohjaajaa, joukko alkuasukkaita, autoja, röykkiöittäin tavaraa. Ammutaan antilooppeja, sarvikuonoja, puhveleita, leijonia, keskustellaan. Maisema elää, miljöö elää ja luonto. Hemingway uskaltaa kerrankin paljastaa itsensä: hän on herkkätunteinen ja huumorintajuinen omalla maskuliinisella tavallaan, hän nauttii elämästä. Eikä tämä elämisen ilo voi olla tarttumatta lukijaan. | |
