Book summary


OUT OF AFRICA is the classic account of the experiences of Karen Blixen (aka Isak Dinesen) in Kenya, where she managed a coffee plantation for 17 years, from 1914 to 1931, first with her difficult husband the Baron von Blixen and, after their divorce, by herself. One of the most popular books of the 20th century, it provides a vivid and lyrical but very realistic description of colonial Africa and life in the bush country far inland. In SHADOWS ON THE GRASS, written years later, Dinesen continues the story,


Media reviews


"The four stories in 'Shadows on the Grass' are triumphantly sentimental and gently anecdotal; yet within their miniature frame they have many of the qualities of the finest storytelling. They have poetic wisdom--crossed at times, it is true, with a hunter's mystique--skillfully folded into the narrative, and they have, after all, history."
