Karen Blixen Books in Order

Karen Blixen recalls her years running a coffee plantation in Kenya, her friendships with local people and her attachment to the land and wildlife. The memoir reflects on Denys Finch-Hatton and the losses surrounding her eventual departure for Denmark.

Two impoverished young women, Lucan and Zosine, seek security in the care of a stern clergyman and his wife. Disturbing events in their new household reveal that apparent charity conceals sinister intentions, placing both friends in danger.

Karen Blixen revisits her life in Kenya through four reflective accounts of people, beliefs and enduring relationships. Recollections of her servant Farah and her former household explore cultural encounters, memory and the loneliness of leaving Africa behind.

Drawn from Out of Africa, this short volume presents Karen Blixen's recollections of life on a Kenyan farm. Her account evokes the landscape around the Ngong Hills and the African setting that remained central to her memory and writing.
