The Snows of Kilimanjaro

I had an impression of Hemingway as being a real 'macho' writer, which is why it took me so long to start reading him. And I find that, at least in this collection of short stories, machismo isn't the issue. They're about friendship, nature, love, and, yes, about men. But not in that we-have-the-right-to-be-juvenile-and-sexist way that seems to pop up nowadays ("drengerøvskultur" for danskerne).
Simply one of the great writers.

I'm taking this to the Meetup this afternoon. Woohoo! Meetup!
I got this book from Too-Ticki at the meet-up. I'm looking forward to reading it.
After spending a short period on the tbr-shelf this book came along on my now daily commuting trips between Copenhagen and Helsingborg, and was therefore my "train book" for a while.
A great book, many fine descriptions of different feelings - the emotional life in people under different kinds of pressure. I think the feelings are his own for a big part of it. A theme he returns to several times is how "The Great War" inflicted people long after it was over.
