Publisher Description

The ideal introduction to the genius of Ernest Hemingway, The Snows of Kilimanjaro and Other Stories contains ten of Hemingway's most acclaimed and popular works of short fiction. Selected from Winner Take Nothing, Men Without Women, and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories, this collection includes The Killers, the first of Hemingway's mature stories to be accepted by an American periodical; the autobiographical Fathers and Sons, which alludes, for the first time in Hemingway's career, to his father's suicide; The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, a brilliant fusion of personal observation, hearsay and invention, wrote Hemingway's biographer, Carlos Baker; and the title story itself, of which Hemingway said: I put all the true stuff in, with enough material, he boasted, to fill four novels. Beautiful in their simplicity, startling in their originality, and unsurpassed in their craftsmanship, the stories in this volume highlight one of America's master storytellers at the top of his form.

    " The Irish nurse who retires to pray whenever Notre Dame plays football was my favorite character. Other than that I felt there was too much male problems, worries, and wife-troubles for me. I really need to read some more of his novels because I like those much better. "

    " like many people, my favorite hemmingway stuff is the short stories. i guess it's because i don't really expect to feel close to the characters since there isn't that much time to get to know them. also the stories are very visually dramatic despite the sparse language. "

    " Overall i guess i was disappointed. Typical Hemingway subject matter and i love his tight writing style and ability to conjure up an entire setting in a sentence but, perhaps because i know too much of his life and history, i found myself profoundly uninterested in the characters. "

    " I've never read a Hemingway before. Blame it on my non-American high school education. So I figured I'd start with his short stories. I can't say um a fan though. It all feels too despondent, which I was expecting. I did like the one called A Short Happy Life. "

    " Pretty good. I have not read much by Hemingway. I really liked the the Last Happy Day of Francis macomber, Fifty Grand, Fathers and Sons and Snows. the others were difficult, some seemed like they ended just when they started. "

    " I haven't read short stories for a while, so it took me a bit to get my head back into it. I think short stories are best experienced by discussing in a group afterward. Too bad I don't have that right now. "

Yep, the man dies at the end (it's Hemingway, so duh), but it was a poignant death, and I almost felt like I understood what being a male hunter was all about for about two minutes or so. Just a lot of truth of who we are as people in this one. "
