As Verdes Colinas de África

$9.95

This book is in Portuguese.

Besides being one of the great storytellers of the 20th century, Hemingway was also an extraordinary chronicler. Green Hills of Africa is a masterpiece of the report where Hemingway tells of a month-long stay – December 1933 – in Africa, dedicated to one of his great passions: big game hunting. The African light, the feverish landscape, the excitement and tension produced by hunting become for Hemingway reasons for reflection that go far beyond the safari and the simple tourist narrative. As always, Hemingway manages to elevate the anecdote to the category of myth, explore the condition of man through his most primal instincts and, ultimately, inquire about the eternal question of death, desire and survival.

This novel came from Toronto Public Library and was bought from an international secondhand bookstore. The book is used in very good condition, few markings, minimal signs of wear.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer, journalist, and sportsman. His economical and understated style—which he termed the iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations.

Plano Nacional de Leitura Livro recomendado para a Formação de Adultos como sugestão de leitura. As Verdes Colinas de África divide-se em quatro partes: “caça e conversa”, “caça recordada”, “caça e derrota”, e “caça e felicidade”. A história que se conta nestes quatro segmentos é a de três caçadas com êxito ao leão, ao búfalo e ao rinoceronte, e a de uma longa caçada, apenas em parte bem sucedida, ao antílope. Para quem pensa que Hemingway era uma pessoa incapaz de auto-crítica, o livro será uma revelação. Hemingway, o escritor, escrutina aqui as complexas motivações de Hemingway, a personagem, e não hesita em criticar este último por quase ter estragado todo o prazer de uma aventura excepcional, com o seu desejo infantil de provar que é melhor caçador do que o seu amigo Karl. Os leitores a quem a história de uma caçada em África não interessa de forma muito especial têm de qualquer maneira boas razões para ler As Verdes Colinas de África. Muito em particular por causa do segmento “caça e conversa”, onde Hemingway analisa, com uma candura e uma profundidade fora do comum, a sua vida de escritor.
