Features: A collection of Hemingway's works. This is a newly discovered manuscript by Hemingway, originally published in July 1999 on the 100th anniversary of the renowned writer's birth. The book depicts Hemingway's experience of hunting in Africa from 1953 to 1954, accompanied by his fourth wife, Mary Welsh. The couple, along with several local people who followed them as assistants, pursued a notorious and fierce lion. Along the way, they also hunted animals such as gazelles, leopards, and sandgrouse, reflecting the author's genuine affection for the sincere and loyal African natives. It also shows Mary's active attitude in learning to shoot and building courage, as well as the joyful atmosphere of their life together during this period. The book also mentions a young woman named Debby, a local friend of Hemingway, whom Mary even called his "fiancée." The girl was very close to Hemingway, but she did not affect the relationship between the couple, demonstrating a valuable spirit of mutual understanding and consideration between people. Even while on the hunting trip, Hemingway did not forget to talk about writing. That line, "A novelist is just a storyteller born to lie," may seem absurd, but it humorously captures the objective laws of literary creation.
