Description

Often Ernest Hemingway is described as a larger than life figure -- and now we know he really was. When Leicester Hemingway died, he left an audio memoir of his adventures hunting with his older brother, Ernest. Hunting with Hemingway, the transcript of these fireside stories, takes one into the truly dangerous adventures -- and real-life dress rehearsals -- that inspired this literary giant. Found in these tales are the seeds of some of Hemingway's early short stories; their U-Boat chase harkens to Islands in the Stream, while wrestling ostrich in Africa is reminiscent of The Green Hills of Africa.

In each incredible story, Ernest puts his younger brother into life-threatening situations -- only to rescue him at the last moment. Told by Leicester's daughter Hilary, listeners will feel not only the vigorous souls and vivid action of two bold adventurers, but also a daughter's search to connect with her lost family. Add its bangup surprise ending and Hunting with Hemingway becomes a fun read and an exciting choice for dedicated Hemingway fans -- or anyone who thrills to a good adventure tale.
