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. <p/><i>Hemingway on Hunting</i> 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 <i>Esquire</i> and <i>Vogue</i>, this spectacular collection is a must-have for anyone who has ever tasted the thrill of the hunt--in person or on the page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"[A] trophy-sized catch to enjoy in and out of season."</b><b>--<i>Library Journal</i></b><i> </i><br><br><b>"Hemingway at his purest. . . artfully spare, gracefully descriptive, and faithful to his professional commitment."</b><b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ernest Hemingway did more to change the style of English prose than any other writer of his time.
