Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. printed 2001 This book is written by Sean Hemingway, not Ernest Hemingway. The introduction was written by Patrick Hemingway. The book is composed of excerpts of Ernest Hemingway's books, chosen by Sean to illustrate his relative's interest in several aspects of the sport of hunting. Because the stories are fragments taken from books, they are out of context and the reader is unaware of any plot. In short, I believe this is more like a biographical sketch of Ernest Hemingway. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Ernest Hemingway's lifelong zeal for hunting is reflected in his masterful works of fiction, from his famous account of an African safari in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" to passages about duck hunting in Across the River and into the Trees. For Hemingway, hunting was more than just a passion; it was a means through which to explore our humanity and man's relationship to nature. Courage, awe, respect, precision, patience--these were the virtues that Hemingway honored in the hunter, and his ability to translate these qualities into prose has produced some of the strongest accounts of hunting of all time. Hemingway on Hunting offers the full range of Hemingway's writing about the hunting life. With selections from his best-loved novels and stories, along with journalistic pieces from such magazines as Esquire and Vogue, this spectacular collection is a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt--in person or on the page.
