Synopsis
Under Kilimanjaro is the last of Hemingway's manuscripts to be published in its entirety. Editors Robert W. Lewis and Robert E. Fleming believe that "this book deserves as complete and faithful a publication as possible without editorial distortion, speculation, or textually unsupported attempts at improvement." Under Kilimanjaro reveals a mature, tender, happy, and reflective Hemingway and offers a compelling, deliberately paced, subtle story of a place and time as only Ernest Hemingway could write., An American literary treasure "The sun was not up but that was because of the flank of the mountain it had to rise over and the light was gray but good and Ngui and I were walking through the grass that was wet from the dew. He walked ahead because he knew where the bait had been hung and I watched the trees and his back and the trail his black legs made through the wetness of the grass. We walked silently and the cold wet of the new knee-high grass against my legs was cold and pleasant. Ngui carried the old Winchester pump gun and I carried the Springfield and the only noise that I heard from myself was the light slopping of the tea in my stomach." -- Under Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway Accompanied by his fourth wife Mary, famed American novelist Ernest Hemingway spent several months in late 1953 and early 1954 on his final safari in Kenya. Their time there came to an abrupt end in early January 1954 when they sustained serious injuries from two near-fatal plane crashes in east Africa. While recovering, and back home in Havana, Hemingway wrote his "African book," which is, by turns, an adventuresome, comedic, and thoughtful recounting of his final safari. In Under Kilimanjaro "Papa" colors real people and events with his lively imagination as he demonstrates his inimitable style, his deft wit, and his intelligent curiosity in this autobiographical novel about the land and people he came to love. Completed in 1956, Under Kilimanjaro is part handwritten and part typed, with many of the pages heavily edited in Hemingway's hand. He then left this manuscript, along with those for A Moveable Feast, Islands in the Stream, and The Garden of Eden, in a safe-deposit box in Cuba, often referring to them as his "life insurance" for his heirs.

- a***y (82)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI'm giving it three stars because I was missing one of the three books that was advertised. The seller did warn that the box set cover for the books and poster weren't available. However they failed to mention one of the books was missing from the box set. Luckily I did get the ones that I really wanted, the quality and condition of the books are great, good value if I received all four, packing was safe.

I expected Gulag Archipelago and received all of the works by the author. I’m so happy I could kiss someone. The shipping was fantastic. Everything was packaged very nicely and it arrived very quickly. The condition of the books are definitely as described and I think even a little better. Bless your hearts.
