Second Work of Non-fiction: 'Green Hills of Africa'

Published in 1935, 'Green Hills of Africa' is a non-fiction work by the renowned American author Ernest Hemingway. This book is a vivid recounting of Hemingway's safari in East Africa, specifically during a ten-week trip he took with his wife, Pauline. The narrative not only captures the essence of the African landscape but also delves into the complexities of hunting and the philosophical reflections that accompany such experiences. Hemingway's journey took him through notable locations such as Mombasa, Nairobi, and Machakos in Kenya, before he ventured into the Tanganyika Territory. The book is celebrated for its rich descriptions and Hemingway's unique prose style, which brings the African wilderness to life. Additionally, the experiences and themes explored in 'Green Hills of Africa' also influenced some of Hemingway's short stories, including 'The Snows of Kilimanjaro' and 'The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber'. This work remains a significant contribution to both travel literature and Hemingway's oeuvre, showcasing his deep appreciation for nature and the art of storytelling. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ErnestHemingway #GreenHillsOfAfrica #EastAfricaSafari #TravelLiterature #HuntingAndNature
