Shadows on the Grass
by Isak Dinesen
Blixen begins the fascinating story of his life in Kenya in his unforgettable Out of Africa, published under the name Isaac Dinesen. With warmth and humanity, these four stories illuminate both the African people, their dignity and their traditions, and their love for the beauty and brutality of the landscape. The first three were written in the 1950s, and the last, 'Echoes from the Hills', was written specifically for this in the summer of 1960, when the author was over seventy years old. As a result, they offer a touching final chapter to African memories.
