The Snows of Kilimanjaro (Vintage classics)

Hemingway's early stories told in his distinctive style.

'When she goes, he thought. I'll have all I want. Not all I want but all there is.'

In these early Hemingway stories, which are partly autobiographical, men and women of passion live, fight, love, and die in scenes of dramatic intensity. The settings and themes span a fascinating range:

• Haunting tragedy on the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro.
• Brutal America with its deceptive calm.
• War-ravaged Europe, filled with turmoil and strife.

'An excellent story-teller, intense and skilful in planning and bringing off his effects' — Daily Telegraph
