Hemingway on Hunting by Ernest Hemingway (EPUB)

Description

Ernest Hemingway’s lifelong zeal for hunting is reflected in his masterful works of fiction, from his famous account of an African safari in “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” to passages about duck hunting in Across the River and into the Trees. For Hemingway, hunting was more than just a passion; it was a means through which to explore our humanity and man’s relationship to nature. Courage, awe, respect, precision, patience—these were the virtues that Hemingway honored in the hunter, and his ability to translate these qualities into prose has produced some of the strongest accounts of hunting of all time. Hemingway on Hunting offers the full range of Hemingway’s writing about the hunting life. With selections from his best-loved novels and stories, along with journalistic pieces from such magazines as Esquire and Vogue, this spectacular collection is a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt—in person or on the page.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Re-print of various classic Hemingway writings on hunting, or I should say, where hunting is involved. This is a Hemingway book NOT necessarily a HUNTING book! Hemingway like most contemporaries viewed hunting as a normal part of life unlike today where it’s marginalized and mentioned only in negative terms in “polite society.” This latter day treatment is to bad for current literature as well as society since hunting – as can be seen in this book – can involve all the human emotions. Hemingway did a great job capturing the feelings of the hunt on every level. Taken in the time-context it was written, with different views on such things as eagles (for instance) one can experience the emotion of life on a much more guttural level in the ageless “man-against-nature” struggle. He does a good job of showing that even with all the modern conveniences, that struggle can still be visceral on an individual level without actually concurring nature. One man against one animal. It’s not the killing of the animal, but the hunt. The man has the advantage in the former, but the animal has the advantage in the latter and Hemingway explains it well enough.

⭐I miss read the description, & thought it was an original story by the master. But, it is a conglomeration of his previous writings put together by his son. So for me, it was just re reading his works. If you want a taste of Hemingway, without committing too one complete novel. Then this may be for you.

⭐I love Hemingway because he loved the smells, sounds and adrenalin rush of the chase. At the same time he had deep respect for the game and for the powerful life lessons that come through hunting. This book was a thrill to read and very descriptive. I felt I was there beside Hemingway, feeling the excitement of the hunt and the beauty of the outdoors. When a skilled writer pens true to life tales of the hunt, hunters everywhere benefit because the writer can put into words much of what we hunters feel in our hearts.

⭐my only disappointment was that there wasn’t more on hemingway himself, who was an excellent hunter, rather than excerpts form his fiction.But still, cracking good stories.

⭐Typical Hemingway . . . nothing new if you’ve read his works. But always a good read . . . filled with excerpts from other works.

⭐Hemingway was one of the great descriptive writers of the Twentieth Century. He tells hunting stories as few others ever have.

⭐It wasn’t anything new for a hemingway afficionado. However, it is a fine synopsis of his stories pertaining to hunting.

⭐Great book for the Hemingway fan

⭐It was free. Who can argue
