The book reflects Hemingway's deep ambivalence about fame and his longing for a simpler, more authentic life. He drew on his first African safari in 1933–1934, which he undertook with Pauline. The book's reception was mixed; some critics praised its lyricism, while others found its hunting ethic troubling. Hemingway died by suicide in 1961 and is buried in Ketchum, Idaho.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Carlini","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":54581822030196,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54581822062964,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54581822095732,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54581822128500,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/5561\/6884\/files\/casa-carlini-simple-audiobook-green-hills-of-africa-53743916745076.png?v=1779965593","url":"https:\/\/casacarlini.com\/products\/green-hills-of-africa","provider":"Casa Carlini","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
