Лот 31 | Hemingway, Ernest | Green Hills of Africa, first edition
Hemingway, Ernest
Green Hills of Africa. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1935

8vo. Publisher's green cloth, lettered and stamped in gilt. Dust jacket; joints and extremities a little worn, spine and covers a little toned.

The first edition of Hemingway's four-part non-fiction work about hunting in East Africa.

"Pursuit and Conversation", "Pursuit Remembered," "Pursuit and Failure," and "Pursuit as Happiness" make up the novel's sections. The prose can be divided into descriptions of hunting and discussions about authors and the art of literature as a whole. It was originally serialized in Scribner's Magazine, being eventually published in an initial print run of 10,500 copies in October 1935.

Reception to the book was cool, and Hemingway blamed his wife Pauline and his lover Jane Mason. What followed were two stories that had domineering women at their core, also set in Africa, the first being The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and the second being The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, which was universally lauded (see the next lot).
