Told in his trademark subdued, stripped-down writing style, Green Hills of Africa recounts American writer Ernest Hemingway's December 1933 big-game safari in East Africa. Accompanied by his wife, P.O.M. (Pauline Pfeiffer), Hemingway, aided by local Masai guides, ventures into beautiful, untouched parts of the dark continent on a quest to bring down an elusive kudo.

Written during a time when colonial big-game hunting was still an acceptable sport, Green Hills of Africa embodies man's quest to dominate the natural environment. Originally published in serial format in Scribner's Magazine, Green Hills of Africa was released in 1935 to lukewarm critical reception, however, in the years since its original publication, the book has come to represent some of the best of Hemingway's travel writing and an era long since passed.
