Karen Christence Dinesen, Baroness Blixen-Finecke - wrote as Isak Dinesen, Pierre Andrézel, Tania Blixen, Osceola, etc.
A Danish writer, who mixed in her work supernatural elements, aestheticism, and erotic undertones with an aristocratic view of life, Blixen always emphasized that she was a storyteller in the traditional, oral sense of the word. She drew her inspiration from the Bible, the Arabian Nights, the works of Homer, the Icelandic Sagas, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, who was her great fellow countryman. She wrote in English and in Danish.
In this book, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.
The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald, and we were talking about doing a few books on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration and said, 'I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea, and Rockwell Kent said, 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So, sitting at my desk, he took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today.
This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.

評分如果我没读过《走出非洲》的原著,恐怕同名电影就要占据我脑子20年,幸亏被老友抱青强迫了一把,把原著读了,然后心里冒出了跟抱青一样的评语,“那部电影算个屁啊”。这种断章取义的YY已经发生在“查令十字路八十四号”原著与电影中,用无中生有的细节臆想出整部电影。而原著...

評分电影《走出非洲》是我的最爱之一,当我怀着爱屋及乌的心情读完同名小说,我只能说,它们就像是同名的两朵花,没有孰优孰劣,完全是不同的感受。 电影让我怀着幽微悲戚的心情缅怀了一个结局令人遗憾的爱情故事;但读过小说,我才发现,有关爱情的篇章不过是广袤沙漠中的掠过的...
評分多美的语言! 如果我会唱非洲的歌,我想唱那长颈鹿,以及洒在它背上的新月;唱那田中犁铧,以及咖啡农淌汗的脸庞;那么,非洲会唱我的歌吗?草原上的空气会因我具有的色彩而震颤吗?孩子们会发明一个以我的名字命名的游戏吗?圆月会在我旅途的砾石上投下酷似我的影子吗?还有,...
因為深愛同名的電影而找書來看。書裏並沒有太多的愛情,有的隻是她對非洲生活的點滴迴憶。看似平淡如水的文字下麵流淌著真摯的熱愛與懷念。
评分更像人類學的敘述,類似施特勞斯憂鬱的熱帶。
评分The love of woman and womanliness is a masculine characteristic,and the love of man and manliness is a feminine characteristic
