Kilimanjaro Snow

Because of "Heavy Snow Is Coming", I clicked on this book. I once saw someone say that "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is very similar to "The Snow Is Coming". They use the same technique to describe similar beginnings, and the "thickness" of the characters' fates is "stacked" in the same way in the writings of the two writers, so I went to find out out of curiosity. In two books, I saw the incarnation of life - animals, heading towards the end of their lives, death. They are calm and strutting, their perception of natural life and their letting go of remaining in the world appear to be so calm. They have no hard-to-give-up attachment to this world. They come from nature and leave freely. This is the life in the hearts of Hemingway and Robert, and it is also a tribute to their belief in the noble life. The protagonists in their works are ordinary and ordinary, but the height of life cannot be described by the words "ordinary" and "ordinary". These protagonists from real life use everything they have to live their lives. At the end of the countdown, they are confident and calm. Looking back on their lives, they still face it with a smile. The word "life" was brought out in "color" by them. Perhaps because Hemingway once participated in a battle, the characters in this book appear more resilient. The author's deep understanding of human stories is embedded in it, creating the current iceberg literature - "The Snows of Kilimanjaro". We can understand what he didn't say. He didn't describe the complete scene. We know in our hearts that the things in his books are the "tip of the iceberg" of the world, but we can understand the whole world in his heart. Because the iceberg literary thoughts convey a thickness and width that our readers cannot imagine.

War, travel, love, and writing gradually lead to an eternal topic - death. Fear of death, pursuit of ideals, perhaps, the towering top of Kilimanjaro is the destiny of Harry's soul. "The way you live is where your talent lies." After all, a comfortable life cannot trap the brave leopard in pursuing his own spiritual height.

I have read it hastily, but have not yet understood it. Just a few articles, but they contain insights into life. The depth of the charm cannot be understood by just a few lines of text. Think slowly and feel slowly, just like tasting fine wine. The longer the time, the stronger the taste.

What impressed me most about this book was "The Snows of Kilimanjaro", which reminded me of my own experience of neglecting my studies. Just like the protagonist in the book, I felt confused and helpless under the pressure of reality. I loved the characters in the book, they were all real and made me feel for them. The text of this book is concise and powerful, but it can deeply touch people's hearts and make me think more about life. I think it is not only a literary work, but also a book that can resonate and inspire people in life.

The overall level is uneven, and some themes are so ordinary that I feel that Hemingway's writing style is a bit fussy (his coldness that leads without saying anything is suitable for writing heavy themes). But the snow in Kilimanjaro in the first article is really good. The use of symbolism, the mapping of historical events and life paths, and the stream-of-consciousness technique in this short story are all brilliant and match his acclaimed writing style, which weaves these complex themes together with ease and power. It can be regarded as an accidental work by a Nobel Prize winner. Totally worth five stars.

Iceberg theory. Hemingway's writing style is very recognizable.

Thoughts on death and pursuit of spirituality

The two articles that impressed me most were "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "An African Story". Although I didn't quite understand the previous article, I was shocked by the views on life and death contained in it, especially the sentence "Lose weight for your soul." In the latter article, I was very moved by what the boy was thinking. He felt guilty about the elephant and resented those who killed the elephant. This shows that he is a person with a conscience. The themes written by Hemingway have always been profound. It was really hard to read the whole book, and there were some places where I really couldn't understand or even couldn't stand it.

Worth reading a second time

Yes, but I don't understand some parts. It's indeed the iceberg theory.

Not bad, well worth reading
