Out of Africa
“The book’s love affair is with Africa, and Dinesen’s writings capture its majestic beauty: the land, wildlife, and Kenyan people…Out of Africa will generate thoughtful discussions of colonialism, feminism, religion, and spirituality.”
"When I was a young girl, it was very far from my thoughts to go to Africa, nor did I dream then that an African farm should be the place in which I should be perfectly happy."
After the failure of her coffee farm, Karen Blixen returned to Denmark, where she wrote this classic account of her experiences. Out of Africa is a celebration of her life there and her friendship with the various peoples of the area. Her sympathetic response to the landscape and animals are drawn with warmth and unusual clarity.
