'Out of Africa,' by Karen Blixen
Review by Steven Adams:
"Whether through the movie, or by reading the book, 'Out Of Africa' has come to symbolise and evoke the romance of an era. For me, the book also captures the heart and soul of safari travel and allows oneself to immerse in all that is quintessentially safari."
More on Karen Blixen's book:
"Compelling … a story of passion … and a movingly poetic tribute to a lost land"
The Times
From the moment Karen Blixen arrived in Kenya in 1914 to manage a coffee plantation, her heart belonged to Africa. Drawn to the intense colours and ravishing landscapes, Karen Blixen spent her happiest years on the farm and her experiences and friendships with the people around her are vividly recalled in these memoirs. "Out of Africa" is the story of a remarkable and unconventional woman and of a way of life that has vanished for ever.
