Green Hills of Africa

First published in 1935, Green Hills of Africa is Ernest Hemingway’s second work of nonfiction. The book is an account of a month long safari he and his wife, Pauline 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. 


Considered by many to be one of the best works of nonfiction about big game hunting, Green Hills of Africa is a must read for all Hemingway fans.
