Lovely writing with a poignant theme: Death and regret.
Of course it's classic Hemingway. He's often stereotyped as laconic and even "toxically" masculine, but, at least in these comparatively early writings, his prose was highly evocative and sometimes downright lyrical. It's the best thing about this famous short story, especially for those who haven't read him for a while.

Old style story telling
What a wonderful story teller. The story itself is quite banal: the selfishness of a woman of extreme beauty and the chaos left in her wake but the skilful weaving and bringing together of the framework and the minute detail were superb. Paris, Pamplona, San Sebastián and a magical fishing trip to clear mountain rivers were all beautifully detailed. The bull run and the bull fights were described with a clarity now now found in literature. It was a magical revisit after forty years.

Not so good
I generally do not like to read Hemingway, so I thought I should read this, to broaden my knowledge of literature. As with some of Hemingway's other books, I so disliked the main character - the man - that the book annoyed me. Charlton Heston's reading was very professional, and I enjoyed that. It is a rather short book so if one wants to get a taste of Hemingway this is a good start.

Not my fav Hemmingway.
Not my favorite Hemmingway story but Charleton Heston does a great job reading it. Very short recording so it is a little pricey.

Short but really good!
The writing in The Snows of Kilimanjaro is, as you would expect, superbly perfect! I really enjoyed listening to it.

Good read!!
The Snows of Kilimanjaro and other stories.Year of publication: 1961Genre: FictionThis book is a compilation of short stories by Ernest Hemingway. Most of the stories have a blunt ending and you can very easily see his love for hunting, fishing and about life after wars in these stories.Starting with story of a writer ( Harry) who is waiting for his death to this young girl Liz who reluctantly discovers the romance, a young couple who explored and ended their relationship to a young American who wanted a cat to accompany her.These short stories will make you think hard about the underneath emotions of each character. There is alot of intensity and the language which author uses is very powerful and strong. Hemingway's art of describing physical and emotional pain is praiseworthy.There were few stories I didn't liked much but overall book is a good read.

余計なトラックあり
このCDは60分弱の録音で、12 tracksで構成されている。しかし最初と最後のtracckはCaedmon社の作品の説明と朗読を聞くことの子供の教育への効果について述べているもので、ヘミングウェイの「キリマンジャロの雪」とは無関係（なんで入れたのかな）。だから本文は2~11 trackということになる。吹込みは往年の名優、チャールトン・ヘストンだから文句はないが、名優だからと言って、音声だけで勝負する声優として優れているかというと疑問である。ちょっと早口のこもったような声で、映画の場面があればきっとピッタリなのだろうけど、音声だけの朗読だと聞きにくく、やっぱり視覚映像の世界と聴覚映像の世界では、表現技法が違うように思う。このCDは1枚だけなのに、CD1とラベルが付いていて、ちょっと変な気がした。1枚しかないんだから、CD1なんて書くとCD2があるのかと思って思わずCDパッケージの裏側を探してしまった。往年の名優の吹込みとヘミングウェイの代表作の一つという最高の材料を使ったCDなので全体的に問題はないが、まあこんなものか、といった感想を持った。
