Hemingway, Ernest : Shootism Versus Sport: The Second Tanganyika Letter in Esquire Magazine

Esquire, Inc., Chicago, 1934

Folio. Entire issue, June, 1934, in original Sam Berman wraps, light to moderate general wear and soiling, fine creasing noted along some edges. Includes a photograph of the author in hunting attire holding a rifle, kneeling beside a downed lion. In this piece, Hemingwy offers negative opinion about shootists, as Africans call them, or tourists and would-be big game hunters who come to Africa to hunt lions from the safety of a moving car, or an enclosed cage that offers maximum protection. From the final paragraph, "You will be more of a sportsman to come back from Africa without a lion than to shoot one from the protection of a motor car, or from a blind at night when the lion is blinded by a light and cannot see his assailant." Issue includes other non-fiction from F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Scarce.. Magazine. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Soft cover
