Story
Danish countess Karen Blixon, known as Isak Dineson, ran a coffee plantation in Kenya in the years when Africa remained a romantic and formidable continent to most Europeans. Out of Africa is her account of her life there, with stories of her respectful relationships with the Masai, Kikuyu, and Somali natives who work on her land; the European friends who visit her; and the imposing permanence of the wild, high land itself. Stage and television actress Julie Harris delivers a reading that is emotionally charged and reflective, recreating Dinesen's lively appreciation for the land she loved so much.

Story
In this audiobook, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives; of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom; of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her; of primitive festivals; of big game that were her near neighbors - lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes; and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful.

Story
Recién casada, una joven danesa, aristócrata y refinada, hija y hermana de militares, viaja a Kenia, donde permanece durante diecisiete años. Esta experiencia da lugar a una novela que es una encendida declaración de amor a unos paisajes, a unas gentes y a unas culturas situadas en el polo opuesto de lo que había sido su pasado familiar y social. Poseída por la misma pulsión de Sherezade, Isak Dinesen nos sumerge en un relato que se prolonga a lo largo de páginas encantadas: el de su vida en África y el de la vida de los que la rodeaban, europeos o somalíes, kikuyus o masais.

Story
Son muchos los personajes y muchas las anécdotas que recorren como corrientes subterráneas Sombras en la hierba: el comercio en Nairobi, la caza de leones homicidas, el mundo de los sueños, las danzas rituales en la granja y una multitud de pequeños acontecimientos extraordinarios vividos entre gentes más extraordinarias aún. Pero, a pesar de todo, no se puede hablar de autobiografía: de una u otra forma, la autora permanece al margen de la narración y cede el papel protagonista a quien nunca ha dejado de tenerlo: la vida, siempre persa, indomable, cruel y tierna.

Story
"Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist: give me leave to do my utmost." This line from "Babette's Feast" lends itself to both of the stories in this audio collection, which tell of unbreakable human spirit and total commitment to life choices. "Babette's Feast," now an award-winning film, takes a humorous look at a pure-spirited community in which love, lost youth, self-denial, and creative urges contribute to making the right choices. And "Sorrow-Acre," the most anthologized of Isak Dinesen's stories, challenges the most profound choice of all. Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Colleen Dewhurst's warm, sensitive interpretation reveals the subtle beauty of Dinesen's prose.
