内容简介

1914年，二十九岁的凯伦·布里克森旅居肯尼亚，在恩贡山下的农场经营咖啡种植园。直到1931年，凯伦离开非洲。她返回丹麦，写下这十七年间在非洲这片奇妙的大陆上动人的经历。在她笔下，非洲大陆笼盖着一种广袤而又柔和的气氛，而鲜活其中的，是和这土地颜色最相贴合的人和故事。疾病、死亡、失败、割舍，是她在非洲的生命旅程中不断上演的课题，但这本书不是一幕悲剧或一首恋旧的挽歌，而是一种自由与勇敢的生命力的宣扬，一种纯粹、明净、深远的爱的渗透。 

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.

Synopsis
In 1914 Karen Blixen went to Kenya to run a coffee farm; its failure in 1931 caused her to return to Denmark where she wrote this classic account of her experiences. A poignant farewell to her beloved farm, this work describes her friendships and her affection for the animals and landscape.

作者简介

伊萨克・迪内森（Lsak Dinesen）丹麦著名女作家，1885年生于西兰岛龙斯特兹一个贵族家庭。早年就读于丹麦艺术学院，后在巴黎和罗马学习绘画。1914年随男爵丈夫旅居肯尼亚，经营咖啡农场。1931年返回丹麦，后来从事文学创作。1934年发表描写非洲生活的小说集《七个神奇的故事》（Seven Gothic Tales）一举成名。主要作品有：《走出非洲》（Out of Africa）、《草坪上的影子》（Shadows on the Grass）、《冬天的故事》（Winter's Tales）等。《走出非洲》被改编成电影，获奥斯卡奖。迪内森于1962年去世。

ISAK DINESEN was the pen-name of Karen Blixen, who was born in Rungsted, Denmark in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, she married her cousin, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. Together they went to Kenya to manage a coffee plantation.

After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark in 1931. Although she had written occasional contributions to Danish periodicals since 1905 (under the nom de plume of Osceola), her real début took place in 1934 with the publication of Seven Gothic Tales, written in English under her pen-name.

Out of Africa (1937) is an autobiographical account of the years she spent in Kenya. Most of her subsequent books were published in English and Danish simultaneously, including Winter’s Tales (1942) and The Angelic Avengers (1946), under the name of Pierre Andrézol. Among her other collections of stories are Last Tales (1957), Anecdotes of Destiny (1958), Shadows on the Grass (1960) and Ehrengard (1963). All of these books are published by Penguin. Baroness Blixen died in Rungsted in 1962.
