| 格式化内容附注： | "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" is a short story by Ernest Hemingway, first published in 1936. The narrative revolves around a writer named Harry, who is stranded in Africa with a severe leg injury, waiting for a plane to take him to a hospital in Nairobi. As he contemplates his impending death, Harry reflects on his past life in a series of disjointed memories and regrets. He recalls his experiences in World War I, his failed relationships, and his unfulfilled literary ambitions. The story explores themes of mortality, regret, and the creative process, with Kilimanjaro serving as a symbol of both the heights of artistic achievement and the cold, indifferent nature of death. Harry's journey towards acceptance is juxtaposed with his deteriorating physical condition, culminating in a poignant meditation on the meaning of life and the inevitability of death. The story ends with Harry's death, his soul seemingly ascending towards the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro, a final, transcendent gesture towards the aspirations he left unfulfilled. |
