Out of Africa
About This Novel
It is Africa that awakens the inner self. From the age of twenty-nine to forty-six, I was always empty-handed because I had touched everything. I always set out again and again, but nowhere is it better than Africa. I have no way of explaining it, but I know the stars are clearer in Africa than anywhere else. Africa took away everything from me, but also gave me everything. "Out of Africa" is an autobiographical novel written by Karen Blixen based on her true experience of living in Africa. In 1914, Karen Blixen followed her husband to Kenya and ran a coffee estate at the foothills of Ngo Mountain. She used her seventeen years of experience and thirty-one years of nostalgia to write an epic about Africa. She also used her courage and strength to define her life.
