Out of Africa
About This Novel
CCTV's "The Reader" read version by Sylvia Chang; twice nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature; Meryl Streep starred in the movie of the same name and won seven Oscars; poetic and classic literary writing about Africa can take you out of a mediocre and boring life. This book is an autobiographical novel by Karen Blixen, describing "my" life story of running a coffee farm in Africa from 1914 to 1931. The author is ingenious and combines many people, events, scenery and objects into one. Every line reveals his pure love for the hot land of Africa and its thriving people. The "I" in the work has both the entrepreneurial courage and adventurous spirit of a man, and the soft-heartedness and tenacity of a woman to withstand setbacks. This combination of strength and softness makes her aggressive in her career and not afraid of hardships. She is also full of humanity and friendship in life. The author describes the foolish and backward side of the local people with sympathy, and praises their hard-working, simple, sincere, and helpful side, and truly reproduces the life of the European people in the special environment of Africa. The author Karen Blixen has won the Andersen Prize and the Pontoppidan Prize, and has been nominated for the Nobel Prize twice. Together with Andersen, she is called Denmark's "literary national treasure".

Out of Africa
When I started reading this book, I was attracted by the content, so I spent several hours reading the book from beginning to end. Indeed, the more you read, the more you like it, because the African style described by the author looks very simple and immersive, and the characters inside are also lifelike, impressive, and unforgettable for a long time. Slowly, you will find that Africa is indeed a backward and magical land that is always full of vitality. It has strange animals, vast grasslands, helpless weather conditions, and indigenous people with distinctive personalities and a sense of secret. The author gradually gets along with everything in Africa in harmony and is full of infinite love for it. However, in the end, he had to leave this affectionate land and return to the original Nordic country because of the bankruptcy of the manor. The ending is a little sad. After reading this book, maybe you will have somewhat different feelings about Africa.
Good, good, good, good, look good

In the book, I feel like I have been to Africa and immersed myself in it. I will definitely visit Africa if conditions permit in my lifetime.
Good, good, good, good, good (?1?7?1?1Ω?1?1?1?7)?1?7?7?9
