The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories

The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories is an outstanding introduction to Ernest Hemingways genius. It comprises 10 of Hemingways most recognized and beloved works of short fiction. This collection includes The Killers the first of Hemingways mature stories to be accepted by an American periodical; the autobiographical Fathers and Sons which alludes for the first time in Hemingways career to his fathers suicide; and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber which Hemingway described as a brilliant fusion of personal observation hearsay and invention. Hemingway boasted that he put all the true stuff in with enough material to cover four volumes. The stories in this collection are beautiful in their simplicity shocking in their inventiveness and unrivalled in their artistry and they showcase one of Americas finest storytellers at the top of his game.
