«La Ferme africaine» is Karen Blixen's autobiographical account, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (512 pages, in French).
Karen Blixen recalls the years she ran a coffee plantation in Kenya, where she arrived in 1914 and from which she had to leave in 1931 after the ruin of the enterprise. The narrative evokes her daily life, her friendship with the peoples of the region and the African landscape, with warmth, lucidity and a deep sense of loss.
The work was originally published as «Out of Africa» in 1937, with a French translation by Yvonne Manceron. Edition from Gallimard's Folio collection, complete text.
Aimed at readers of memoirs and classic narratives, and at those interested in travel literature and the history of East Africa.
Baroness Karen Christentze von Blixen-Finecke was a Danish author who wrote in Danish and English. She is also known under her pen names Isak Dinesen, used in English-speaking countries; Tania Blixen, used in German-speaking countries; Osceola, and Pierre Andrézel.
