The Green Hills of Africa

Book • 1935
Published in 1935, *The Green Hills of Africa* is Ernest Hemingway's memoir of his safari across the Serengeti with his wife, Pauline Pfeiffer.

The book is an evocative account of big-game hunting, examining the grace of the chase and the ferocity of the kill.

It also delves into Hemingway's thoughts on literature and writing, and it is an impassioned portrait of the African landscape and the beauty of a wilderness threatened by human incursions.

The narrative is divided into four parts and includes discussions on American and European literature, as well as the author's personal reflections on hunting and the natural world.
