Out of Africa
by Isak Dinesen
From the moment Karen Blixen arrived in Kenya in 1914 to run a coffee plantation, her heart belonged to Africa. Drawn to the intense colors and terrifying landscapes, Karen Blixen spent her happiest years on the farm, and her experiences and friendships with the people around her are vividly expressed in these memories. He describes his strong friendship with the inhabitants, his love for the scenery and animals, and his great love for the adventurer Denis Finch-Hutton. Written with incredible clarity and an emotionless intelligence, Out of Africa is the story of a wonderful and unusual woman and a lifestyle that has disappeared forever.
