From short story: The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber by Ernest Hemingway

Keywords: Action/Adventure

Big game hunter Robert Wilson is hired by wealthy Francis Macomber to take him and his wife Margaret on a hunting safari in East Africa; we know from the start that Francis returns deceased. Their trip is spoiled by nasty bickering largely instigated by Margaret. Exactly how did the man die, and was his death accidental or intentional? Faithful rendition of Hemingway's story, still holds up.
