The Snows of Kilimanjaro  •  Ernest Hemingway LITERATURE •  1995 •  PAPER  • 156 PAGES A collection of 10 excellent Hemingway stories set in Africa, including The Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber (which begin and end the collection, respectively). The latter is a chilling masterpiece concerning an American couple on a big-game safari. Originally published in 1936, the book draws from stories written over the previous nine years, when Hemingway's prose was at it's best; a classic not to be missed. (EAF26, $14.00)
No Picnic on Mount Kenya  •  Felice Benuzzi EXPLORATION •  2005 •  PAPER  • 240 PAGES Bored beyond belief in a British prisoner of war camp at the foot of Mount Kenya in 1943, the author scrounged the food, material and colleagues to break-out of the camp, climb the mountain -- and then sneak back into prison. Among the many pleasures of this book are Benuzzi's accounts of the landscapes, animals and habitats on the way to the top. This splendid adventure is characterized by Benuzzi's offhand courage and great spirit. (EAF59, $14.95)
