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.

最近都沉迷在女性自主獨立自由的氛圍裏,迷戀這個題材的電影、電視還有文學作品。也不是說這樣的題材一定就要慷慨激昂,心硬如磐石;但生活在“衝破阻礙放心去高處飛翔的”環境裏,總是仰著臉追尋著天邊仿佛似隱還現的海鳥翅膀一樣,時間久瞭,眼睛酸瞭,很容易就忘記其實,腳...
評分伊薩剋•迪內森:贊美光明 卡森·麥卡勒斯 選自《抵押齣去的心》 1938年,我拜訪瞭在查爾斯頓擁有一間極好書店的幾位朋友。在逗留的第一晚,他們問我是否讀過《走齣非洲》,我說我沒讀過。他們告訴我這是本特彆美的書,必須要讀一下。我扭轉頭去,說我現在根本不在讀書...
評分一本關於生命的書籍,特彆適閤在肯尼亞熾熱的陽光和涼爽的風中閱讀的書籍。 第一次讀是在馬賽馬拉帳篷酒店裏地沙發椅上,旁邊就是書中所描述的景象,世事變化,現在已經不能夠狩獵,但依然能夠感受到作者在非洲大陸上濃烈的愛、執著的生活和無盡的遺憾。 也許這就是人生。在絕...
評分 評分用瞭12天的時間讀畢走齣非洲,雖然多是用零星的時間拼湊起來,卻感覺從那一句''I had a farm in Africa''開始,就深深沉浸在這本書的氛圍裏,一氣嗬成。這12天,其中有8天在蘇格蘭度過。雖然蘇格蘭和非洲很不同,卻有非常驚人的相似的氣質,覺得真是讀這本書的閤適的地方。讀到...
