The African Memoirs of Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen): An Extraordinary Woman, An Unforgettable Landscape, and A Great Love Story. "I had a plantation in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Mountains..." As soon as the young and aristocratic Karen Blixen arrived in Kenya in 1914 to meet her husband and take care of a coffee plantation, she fell in love with Africa. The bright colors, the endless plains, and the people she met -Masai and Kikuyu- immediately captivated her. And it was not an ephemeral fascination: the seventeen years he spent there were the happiest of his life, because he had never felt so free and because he had the opportunity to meet Denys Finch Hatton, a charismatic adventurer Englishman with whom he fell in love. Back in winter Denmark, separated from her husband and penniless, Karen Blixen wanted to relive the best memories of her long-awaited African experience with these memories in which she shines like the great seductress she is, portraying a time that it slowly fades away, from a place to which it will not be able to return, to the other end of the world.
