Hemingway's memoir about hunting big game in Africa is also about the appeal of the "primitive" and the author's dissatisfactions with his own society. Based on his safari journal, this is a vibrant portrait of the African landscape.
First published in 1926--and out of print for several years--"The Torrents of Spring" is not only a rare and invaluable example of Hemingway's early writings, but a wonderfully entertaining novel.
