English Abstract
The following study presents Ernest Hemingway as a writer who got used to shedding light on his own writing, war and hunting experience in his own fiction.
This study explores not only Hemingway’s fictional works, but also his insights about literature, writing, and hunting which are clearly presented in many works he has written, such Green Hills of Africa, The Old Man and The Sea and The Snows of Kilimanjaro.
The more one reads Hemingway, the more one realizes the extent of his preoccupation with Africa and his uncanny world.
In addition to the fictional works which concentrate on his African experiences, he wrote essays and letters such as The Christmas Gift, and The Three Tanganjan Letters which also deal with those experiences.
The protagonist of The Snows of Kilimanjaro is a writer who has accomplished little in writing.
Instead he chose to live off a series of rich wives.
He is dying of a septic leg on safari in Africa and reflects on both his experiences and his failure to write about them.
Thus the present study explores the different dimensions of this novel, particularly the psychological and emotional sides related to the act of writing and its costs or consequences.
Hemingway addresses issues which concern all people around the world; therefore, this study can be an example of a work which focuses on the achievement of any creative writer irrespective of his/ her background.
