Ready Reference Treatise: Out of Africa

“Out of Africa” by Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke was first published in 1937. Blixen had spent seventeen years in Kenya. In those days, Kenya was called ‘British East Africa.’

The book describes the events which took place during her seventeen years in Kenya. It presents a kind of lyrical meditation on the author’s life while she used to run her coffee plantation there. It also describes the influence of some of the people who she came across there.

There is highly descriptive presentation of the African colonial life during the last decades of the British Empire. The author first wrote the book in English and then rewrote it in Danish language.
