"You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions": Rare Uncorrected Proof of Out Of Africa
Uncorrected proof of the first British edition. Octavo, original light blue wrappers. In very good condition with wear to the spine edges. Uncommon.
From 1914 to 1931, Danish aristocrat Baroness Karen Blixen owned and operated a coffee plantation in Kenya. After the plantation failed, she returned to Europe and began to write under the pen name Isak Dinesen. Out of Africa reads like a collection of stories in which she adheres to no strict chronology, gives no explanation of the facts of her life, and apologizes for nothing. Basis for the film bearing the same name, directed by Sydney Pollack, starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, which went on to win seven Academy Awards.
