Her er foromtalen til en bog om netop dette emne, der ikke udkommer før end til efteråret. Men den rummer vel svaret på denne tråd!
Ernest Hemingway is an enduring celebrity. This mythic writer and alpha male drew his themes of action, adventure, and courage from his days afield in North America, Cuba, Europe, and East Africa. As a hunter and conservationist, he followed the strong example set by Theodore Roosevelt, and he much enjoyed teaching newcomers to shoot and hunt. These stories detail how Hemingway acquired his guns and what he did with them. In the telling, we learn much about him as a lifelong, expert hunter and shooter, and we learn about the man behind the legend. Among the guns discussed and depicted in this book are Winchester Model 12, W&C Scott 12, Beretta S3, Merkel 12, Winchester Model 21, Griffin & Howe Springfield, Westley Richards .577 Nitro Express, Winchester Model 61, Walther PP .22 pistol as well as many more. The stories of Hemingway’s guns and rifles also include short excerpts from his works.
This fascinating book looks into the innermost soul of an American original—writer, devoted sportsman, firearms expert, and iconoclast.
