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.

    Ok, I'm done with it. It wasn't that pleasant actually, though. By Hemingway I read once The Old Man and the Sea and For whom the Bell Tolls and I enjoyed them, as far as I remember, but this collection is too full of death, weapons, hunting, blood and desperation for me. Or maybe it's my state of mind that has changed through the years and I cannot stand any longer such darkness.

    Perhaps my favorite Hemingway collection. "HIlls like white elephants" is quite possibly one of the best short stories ever written, and I gotta thank my high school teacher on this one!

  • Great short stories written by a great author. We can read about free spaces, war and feelings within the same book.
