Both a revealing self-portrait and dramatic fictional chronicle of his final African safari, Ernest Hemingway's last unpublished work was written when he returned from Kenya in 1953. Edited by his son Patrick, who was with his father on his safari, the book offers rare insights into the legendary American writer.
Written upon his return from the safari in 1953, Hemingway recounts his wife's search for a black-maned lion and the possible attack of a hostile tribe. There is also his account of marital dysfunction and his involvement with an African woman. Classic Hemingway filled with excitement, adventure, sharp humor and unprecedented natural beauty.
