Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Hemingway was an avid sportsman, and he (or his characters) often commented on his favorite pastimes in his fiction and journalistic essays. This fascinating collection of short stories, excerpts from novels, and magazine pieces mirrors the format of last year's acclaimed Hemingway on Fishing (LJ 9/1/00), which anthologized the author's best work relevant to that sport. This compilation begins with an insightful foreword by Ernest's son Patrick and an introductory essay by grandson Se n, whose thoughtful selections make this a book that can be appreciated by readers even if they're not interested in hunting. The first section, "From Up in Michigan to the Serengeti," includes a couple of Nick Adams stories, the "Macomber" and "Kilimanjaro" classics, plus numerous excerpts from The Green Hills of Africa. Part 2, "Dispatches from the Field," includes commissioned articles about experiences in Europe and Africa, and Part 3, "A Hunter's Return to the Good Country," closes out the collection with stories and reporting about hunting closer to home, mainly in Idaho. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries. Will Hepfer, SUNY at Buffalo Libs.

From the Back Cover

The importance of fishing in Ernest Hemingway's life was matched only by his passion for hunting. Edited and with an introduction by his grandson Sean, and with a foreword from his son Patrick, Hemingway on Hunting chronicles Ernest Hemingway's lifelong zeal for the hunting life, from the plains of Africa to the American West. Hemingway found in hunting the virtues of courage and skill, qualities that he admired greatly and would incorporate into so many other aspects of his life and work. Hunting was not only a pursuit of great passion for him - a thrilling activity in its own right - but it also provided him with a model by which to explore fundamental issues of human nature. His unique ability to isolate these issues into prose has produced the most classic writings of the sport in existence. His famous account of an African safari "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," passages about duck hunting from Across the River and into the Trees, extensive selections from Green Hills of Africa, and other important short stories, along with numerous selections from his journalistic pieces for Esquire, Vogue, and others, including such works as his "Tanganyika Letters" and his account of hunting in Clark's Fork Valley, Wyoming, make this a definitive summary of a master sportsman, hunter, and writer, and a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt or who simply enjoys great writing. (7 1/4 x 9 1/2, 334 pages, b&w photos)

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.

If you are a fan of Hemingway or just adventure and hunting this is a worthy read. It is an easy read and not filled with a bunch of superfluous language. They have pulled together various excerpts from Hemingway on his hunting adventures. It gives you insight to the times he lived and adventures long past. Certainly an easy read. I personally feel Earnest Hemingway is the best American Author of the 20th Century. He lived quite the life and it shows in his writings. Do not judge him by our time but his. Someone will surely get "butt hurt"; however, he was truly a "Man's Man". Give the book a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hemingway Says What We Feel
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hemingway hunting related fiction and nonfiction compilation
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2002
The handsome book contains no new material but is a compilation of hunting-oriented short stories, non-fiction pieces and excerpts from novels. There's a very good scene from "Across the River and Into the Trees" about duck hunting from blinds near Venice. There is a nice selection of photographs of the author with various trophies. One in particular is spectacular showing Hemingway about to fire his rifle at a huge charging lion. The perspective is from just behind Hemingway, his rifle is raised to his shoulder and the onrushing lion appears to be only a few feet away. Another shows Hemingway standing next to same lion, now very dead.
The longish short story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" which is arguably his best short story is included. It tells the story of wealthy American and his beautiful wife on safari in Africa. The title character behaves shamefully during a lion hunt. That night, his wife sleeps with the white hunter to show her displeasure. The next day while hunting buffalo, he redeems himself and proves that he is not a coward, both to himself and to the onlookers. The short happy life of the title refers to that fact that soon after redeeming his injured manhood against the buffalo, his wife accidentally (or perhaps not accidentally) shoots him in the head as a wounded buffalo charges.
If you are a fan of Hemingway's you've probably read much of this stuff before elsewhere, the non-fiction pieces may be hardest to find elsewhere. This book makes a great gift for a hunting enthusiast who is not especially literary oriented.
