乞力马扎罗的雪

The vivid descriptions and themes feel deeply personal. I'm curious whether his time in Africa shaped the tone and content of these stories or if they were already in development before his travels.

The stories often end on a reflective note, which made me think about how much is left unsaid. Would more resolution have changed the impact or been contrary to Hemingway's style?

The contrast between settings adds depth, but I wonder if the author intended to connect these stories through common themes or if the collection was assembled later.
