The Snows of Kilimanjaro

"The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is a collection of short prose by Ernest Hemingway from different years. These stories impress with the depth and unerring accuracy of images; they fully embody the famous "iceberg principle" invented by Hemingway himself. The exotic scenes of the African safari contrast with the forest beauty of Michigan and also with the unique poetics of everyday life, in which the characters immerse themselves entirely to distract themselves from disturbing and scary thoughts.

Lost opportunities and life to the fullest, the eternal search for the meaning of life and looking into the eyes of death, love, and the trauma of war, which sharply divides life into "before" and "after", hopelessness and hope - all this sounds in the prose of Ernest Hemingway with his unique simplicity, with fantastic power.

The collection of stories was illustrated by Anton Selleshii, whose graphics balance the contrast between strength and vulnerability, the sharpness of sensations, and the subtleties of perception.
