Sinopse

Tense, comical, and banal situations in a stunning setting. Blending fiction and autobiography, Hemingway presents us with *Truth at Dawn*, a revealing self-portrait and dramatic chronicle of his last African safari. Written in 1953, upon his return from a stay in Kenya, the work weaves a story rich in humor and beauty. *Truth at Dawn* begins when Pop, a famous hunter, entrusts Hemingway with responsibility for the hunting area where his safari is located. This coincides with rumors that the territory may be attacked by an African organization opposing British colonial power. While the attack awaits, Hemingway's wife, Mary, strives to hunt a lion with which she is obsessed. Adding touches of subtle humor to his dramatic human canvas, Hemingway captures the excitement of hunting large wild animals, as well as the incomparable beauty of the African landscape—the vast plains blanketed in gray mist, the silhouettes of zebras and gazelles against the horizon, the cries of hyenas piercing the dark, icy night. In this work, the author satirizes, among other things, the role of organized religion in Africa. He also reflects on the act of writing itself and the author's role in establishing truth.
