Denmark. The African Farm is one of the most popular works of twentieth-century literature, and Sydney Pollack's 1985 film adaptation, Out of Africa: Memories of Africa, certainly helped! It tells the story of a young Danish aristocrat who, through her marriage, becomes Baroness Karen Blixen (Meryl Steep in the film), who comes to feel a deep love for Africa as Europe enters the First World War. Abandoned by her husband, Karen falls in love with an adventure-loving hunter, Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford). But he disappears. While the film, acclaimed by millions of viewers and winner of seven Oscars, is certainly a success, it should not overshadow the great writer who was Karen Blixen, born Karen Christentze Dinesen.
