Karen von Blixen-Finecke, also known by her nom de plume, Isak Dinesen, was born in Denmark in 1885. Dinesen is widely known for her 1937 memoir, Out of Africa, which was later adapted into an Academy Award-winning film starring Meryl Streep. Dinesen spent much of her early life at her mother s estate in Horsens, but was no stranger to travelling, as she studied art in Rome, Paris, and Copenhagen. In 1914, Dinesen and her fianc?e, Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke, moved to Kenya to manage a coffee plantation. After divorcing in 1925, Dinesen lived briefly with the aristocratic big-game hunter Denys Finch-Hatton, who led safaris for wealthy visitors. After his death and the shutdown of the coffee plantation due to a global economic decline, Dinesen returned to Denmark and immersed herself in her writing, publishing Out of Africa shortly after. Dinesen died in 1962.
Out of Africa tells the story of a farm that the narrator once had in Africa. The farm is located at the foot of the Ngong hills outside of Nairobi, in what is now Kenya. It sits at an altitude of six thousand feet. The farm grows coffee, although only part of its six thousand acres is used for agriculture. The remaining parts of the land are forest and space for the natives to live on.

有陣子每天我都要讀一段《走齣非洲》纔能入睡。疲勞到極點的人是無法睡著的,無論身體多大聲地叫囂需要睡眠。這時候連故事本身也是多餘的,需要僅僅是無數個平和的細節:咖啡的緩慢生長,咖啡的花朵和果實的香氣,惹人憐愛的非洲小男僕和他慢慢滑嚮悲哀的終點的命運。這些細節...

強大的大腦,強大的心。很想去非洲。
評分強大的大腦,強大的心。很想去非洲。
評分很難說明這本書的魔力究竟在哪裏,你甚至會覺得它沒有清楚的故事主綫,但讀著讀著從這絮叨裏卻誕生瞭某種生命的大愴然,觸動瞭某種你之前都不知曉其存在的隱痛。
評分movie````竟然是我生日那天齣版的。。。。。
評分多一顆星給情懷
