Green Hills of Africa.
First edition of Hemingway's second work of nonfiction.
After publishing Winner Take Nothing in 1933, 'Hemingway went to Africa to shoot the bounding kudu and to reply to his critics. The result is Green Hills of Africa… It is the most literary hunting trip on record' (New York Times). Here Hemingway 'attempted to write an absolutely true book to see whether the shape of a country and the pattern of a month's action can, if truly presented, compete with a work of the imagination.' It stands as one of his most memorable books set in the continent and, along with The Snows of Kilimanjaro, helped to establish his reputation as a safari-hunter and outdoorsman.
First edition, first printing (with Scribner's 'A' on copyright page); 8vo; bookseller's ticket to rear pastedown, light offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's green cloth, gilt lettering to spine and upper cover, some fading to spine and extremities, with the price-clipped dustjacket, green band on the rear of the jacket with nine lines of the blurb (Grissom's 'B' jacket), spine panel faded, extending onto top edge of front panel, chipping to corners and spine tips, rubbing to extremities with associated creasing; a very good copy in the worn dustjacket.
