The Snows of Kilimanjaro
by
by
Nineteen short stories, many of them interrelated and/or semi biographical, set in the United States and Europe in the early first half of the twentieth century. Lots of fishing and bullfighting, typical Hemingway. Hemingway, as is his style, managed to reveal human emotion and tenderness at the same time that he is writing about human adversity and tragedy. Also features the 25 page 'Snows of Kilimanjaro' from which Hemingway himself managed to complete a film script for the same named Hollywood blockbuster. 4 out of 12, Two Stars is the best this can get from me.

Excellent review. Not for me I think.

Hemingway is not a good match for me either.
Oh, I didn't know that the movie was based on a short story! But looks like the movie was better, at least this time. Thanks for the helpful review, Baba. :)
