Karen Blixen (who wrote under the pseudonym Isak Dinesen) knew the African countryside as intimately as her own face in the mirror. "The civilized people," she wrote, "have lost the aptitude of stillness, and must take lessons in silence from the wild before they are accepted by it." From her own wild heart she wrote this achingly beautiful book.

The book tells daily life in her coffee plantation near Nairobi. Because of her deep understanding and connection with this land, the book is especially vivid and unique, and also fragmentary, hence suitable for slow reading.(展开)

The book is calmer, less dramatic than the movie. Hope some day I can live on foreign soils.

如果有一本在肯尼亚必看的书那一定是这本了。Karen曾经住所所在的整个区现在都被命名为Karen了(这个行为确实有些colonial了),曾经住过的房子改成的博物馆也是内罗毕著名景点之一。在看书之前我听过一些书里的故事,就理所当然的以为这是个爱情故事(她的爱人因飞机失事去世之后她也就离开了非洲)。但没想到书里关于感情的描写几乎没有,关于两人之间的相处描写的也是非常的含蓄(如果不是知道爱人是开飞机的... 如果有一本在肯尼亚必看的书那一定是这本了。Karen曾经住所所在的整个区现在都被命名为Karen了(这个行为确实有些colonial了),曾经住过的房子改成的博物馆也是内罗毕著名景点之一。在看书之前我听过一些书里的故事,就理所当然的以为这是个爱情故事(她的爱人因飞机失事去世之后她也就离开了非洲)。但没想到书里关于感情的描写几乎没有,关于两人之间的相处描写的也是非常的含蓄(如果不是知道爱人是开飞机的我都不知道哪个朋友是爱人)。只是非常克制的记录了两人一起射杀狮子;一起读诗吃饭喝酒开飞机看动物相互陪伴的岁月;书里更多描写的是农场上的人还有来农场玩的朋友们;还有那对非洲这片土地,土地上的人民和动植物无比含蓄却深沉的爱,虽然最后因为农场破产无法维持只能离开,但心却留在了Ngong hills.
