Аннотация:
'I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills ... Up in this high air you breathed easily ... you woke up in the morning and thought: Here I am, where I ought to be' 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. «Out of Africa» was made into a highly acclaimed film, starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, and won seven Oscars.
