In this lyrical and passionate chronicle, Hemingway describes moments and emotions from an unforgettable safari he experienced in December 1933 across the vast expanses of East Africa with his second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer.
Through authentic travel impressions, enriched with elements of fiction, Hemingway shares with us what this experience taught him about Africa and himself. He stunningly portrays the landscapes, the natives, the hunters, but above all, the great game, the allure of hunting them, and the brutality of their death.
However, he finds the opportunity to share with his companions his thoughts on life, war, fate, and literature, and thus, at some point, hunting ceases to be an end in itself and becomes a means for a deep internal quest.
