SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO AND OTHER STORIES

內容簡介

內容簡介 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, heresay, 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.

各界推薦

各界推薦 這本是海明威的短篇小說選，其中同名短篇小說《Snows of Kilimanjaro》曾由二十世紀福斯公司改編成電影，書中主角HARRY立志成為作家，當時結婚後卻被感情的問題讓他在創作上遇到了瓶頸，之後他也曾結識上流社會名媛，卻迷失了自己，不過受到親戚的鼓勵他又重拾成為作家的決心，他甚至深入非洲尋找寫作的靈感，不過在非洲卻染上了重病，再等待死亡的臨終，他寫下了這篇故事，這個故事描寫了主角內心的掙扎與絕望。該篇小說也是海明威自認寫得最好的短篇小說。這本短篇小說集除了這一篇《Snows of Kilimanjaro》之外，也收錄了《A Clean, Well-Lighted Place》、《A Day's Wait》與《The Killers》等重要作品，另一篇描寫海明威與他父親關係的《Fathers and Sons》也是相當值得推薦的作品。
