About the Book The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories
The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway is a short story that delves into themes of regret, mortality, and the human condition. The narrative centers on Harry, a writer who is stranded on an African safari with his wife, Helen, due to a severe leg infection. As Harry lies on his deathbed, he reflects on his life, filled with missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.
Through a series of flashbacks, Harry recalls various moments from his past, including his experiences in Europe, his relationships with different women, and his struggles with his writing career. The story juxtaposes Harry’s internal turmoil with the serene, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, symbolizing purity and unattainable aspirations.
Hemingway’s concise yet powerful prose captures the essence of Harry’s existential crisis, making The Snows of Kilimanjaro a profound exploration of the inevitability of death and the importance of living a meaningful life.
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.
