Out of Africa

Karen Christence Dinesen, Baroness Blixen-Finecke - wrote as Isak Dinesen, Pierre Andrézel, Tania Blixen, Osceola, etc.A Danish writer, who mixed in her work supernatural elements, aestheticism, and erotic undertones with an aristocratic view of life, Blixen always emphasized that she was a storyteller in the traditional, oral sense of the word. She drew her inspiration from the Bible, the Arabian Nights, the works of Homer, the Icelandic Sagas, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, who was her great fellow countryman. She wrote in English and in Danish.

In this book, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.

The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald, and we were talking about doing a few books on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration and said, 'I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea, and Rockwell Kent said, 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So, sitting at my desk, he took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today.

This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.

读后感

用了12天的时间读毕走出非洲，虽然多是用零星的时间拼凑起来，却感觉从那一句''I had a farm in Africa''开始，就深深沉浸在这本书的氛围里，一气呵成。这12天，其中有8天在苏格兰度过。虽然苏格兰和非洲很不同，却有非常惊人的相似的气质，觉得真是读这本书的合适的地方。读到...  

文/张定浩 在电影《走出非洲》的开头，年迈的卡伦坐在丹麦尤斯特兹城老房子的打字机前，写她的故事。她说：“我已经写了所有其他人，并非我不够爱他们，而是他们较清楚，较...  

丹麦作家凯伦。布里克森，绰号雌狮的小说《走出非洲》已经在我家沉寂了多年。 90年代刚流行镭射电影，当时放了一批好电影，票价是5元，对我这个穷学生来说，看这样的电影手头还是很吃紧的。那应该是大年初三，我坐在空荡荡的小放映厅看梅韦尔。斯特里普主演的《走出非洲》。...  

如果我没读过《走出非洲》的原著，恐怕同名电影就要占据我脑子20年，幸亏被老友抱青强迫了一把，把原著读了，然后心里冒出了跟抱青一样的评语，“那部电影算个屁啊”。这种断章取义的YY已经发生在“查令十字路八十四号”原著与电影中，用无中生有的细节臆想出整部电影。而原著...

The love of woman and womanliness is a masculine characteristic，and the love of man and manliness is a feminine characteristic
