Ernest Hemingway's classic writings on hunting—one of his greatest passions—brought together in one volume, a must-have for any fan of Hemingway or hunting.

Ernest Hemingway’s lifelong zeal for the hunting life is reflected in his masterful works of fiction, from his famous portrayal of an African safari in “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” to passages about duck hunting in Across the River and Into the Trees. For Hemingway, hunting was more than just a passion—it was a means through which to explore our humanity and man’s relationship to nature. Courage, awe, respect, precision, patience—these were the virtues that Hemingway honored in the hunter, and his ability to translate these qualities into prose has produced some of the strongest accounts of sportsmanship of all time.

Hemingway on Hunting offers the full range of Hemingway’s writing about the hunting life. With selections from his best-loved novels and stories, along with journalistic pieces from such magazines as Esquire and Vogue, this spectacular collection is a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt—in person or on the page.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Hemingway at his purest. . . artfully spare, gracefully descriptive, and faithful to his professional commitment.”—The Washington Post

“[A] trophy-sized catch to enjoy in and out of season.”—Library Journal

About the Author

Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time. Publication of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms immediately established Hemingway as one of the greatest literary lights of the twentieth century. His classic novel The Old Man and the Sea won the Pulitzer Prize in 1953. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. His life and accomplishments are explored in-depth in the PBS documentary film from Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway. Known for his larger-than-life personality and his passions for bullfighting, fishing, and big-game hunting, he died in Ketchum, Idaho on July 2, 1961.

Ernest Hemingway was born in 1899. His father was a doctor and he was the second of six children. Their home was at Oak Park, a Chicago suburb.

In 1917, Hemingway joined the Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. Their encouragement and criticism were to play a valuable part in the formation of his style.

Hemingway's first two published works were Three Stories and Ten Poems and In Our Time but it was the satirical novel, The Torrents of Spring, that established his name more widely. His international reputation was firmly secured by his next three books; Fiesta, Men Without Women and A Farewell to Arms.

He was passionately involved with bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing and his writing reflected this. He visited Spain during the Civil War and described his experiences in the bestseller, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

His direct and deceptively simple style of writing spawned generations of imitators but no equals. Recognition of his position in contemporary literature came in 1954 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, following the publication of The Old Man and the Sea. He died in 1961.

If you are a fan of Hemingway or just adventure and hunting this is a worthy read. It is an easy read and not filled with a bunch of superfluous language. They have pulled together various excerpts from Hemingway on his hunting adventures. It gives you insight to the times he lived and adventures long past. Certainly an easy read. I personally feel Earnest Hemingway is the best American Author of the 20th Century. He lived quite the life and it shows in his writings. Do not judge him by our time but his. Someone will surely get "butt hurt"; however, he was truly a "Man's Man". Give the book a try.

I love Hemingway because he loved the smells, sounds and adrenalin rush of the chase. At the same time he had deep respect for the game and for the powerful life lessons that come through hunting. This book was a thrill to read and very descriptive. I felt I was there beside Hemingway, feeling the excitement of the hunt and the beauty of the outdoors. When a skilled writer pens true to life tales of the hunt, hunters everywhere benefit because the writer can put into words much of what we hunters feel in our hearts.

my only disappointment was that there wasn't more on hemingway himself, who was an excellent hunter, rather than excerpts form his fiction.
But still, cracking good stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015

Re-print of various classic Hemingway writings on hunting, or I should say, where hunting is involved. This is a Hemingway book NOT necessarily a HUNTING book! Hemingway like most contemporaries viewed hunting as a normal part of life unlike today where it's marginalized and mentioned only in negative terms in "polite society." This latter day treatment is to bad for current literature as well as society since hunting - as can be seen in this book - can involve all the human emotions. Hemingway did a great job capturing the feelings of the hunt on every level. Taken in the time-context it was written, with different views on such things as eagles (for instance) one can experience the emotion of life on a much more guttural level in the ageless "man-against-nature" struggle. He does a good job of showing that even with all the modern conveniences, that struggle can still be visceral on an individual level without actually concurring nature. One man against one animal. It's not the killing of the animal, but the hunt. The man has the advantage in the former, but the animal has the advantage in the latter and Hemingway explains it well enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hemingway hunting related fiction and nonfiction compilation
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2002
The handsome book contains no new material but is a compilation of hunting-oriented short stories, non-fiction pieces and excerpts from novels. There's a very good scene from "Across the River and Into the Trees" about duck hunting from blinds near Venice. There is a nice selection of photographs of the author with various trophies. One in particular is spectacular showing Hemingway about to fire his rifle at a huge charging lion. The perspective is from just behind Hemingway, his rifle is raised to his shoulder and the onrushing lion appears to be only a few feet away. Another shows Hemingway standing next to same lion, now very dead.
The longish short story The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber" which is arguably his best short story is included. It tells the story of wealthy American and his beautiful wife on safari in Africa. The title character behaves shamefully during a lion hunt. That night, his wife sleeps with the white hunter to show her displeasure. The next day while hunting buffalo, he redeems himself and proves that he is not a coward, both to himself and to the onlookers. The short happy life of the title refers to that fact that soon after redeeming his injured manhood against the buffalo, his wife accidentally (or perhaps not accidentally) shoots him in the head as a wounded buffalo charges.
If you are a fan of Hemingway's you've probably read much of this stuff before elsewhere, the non-fiction pieces may be hardest to find elsewhere. This book makes a great gift for a hunting enthusiast who is not especially literary oriented.
