Description

"There are several issues which can't be learned quickly, and time, which is all we've, must certanly be paid heavily due to their acquiring. They're the very simplest things, and since it requires a man's life to understand them the small new that every man gets from life is very costly and the only real heritage he's to leave." -- ERNEST HEMINGWAY In the wintertime of 1933, Ernest Hemingway and his wife Pauline set out on a two-month safari in the big-game country of East Africa, camping out on the truly amazing Serengeti Plain at the foot of magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro. "I'd a significant journey," the writer told his friend Philip Percival, with characteristic understatement. Green Hills of Africa is Hemingway's account of this journey, of what it taught him about herself and Africa.
