The letters are written primarily to Blixen's mother, brother, sister, and an aunt. I find the letters to her mother and brother the most interesting. In them, she details life in Africa in all of its vivid richness. Letters to another relative tend to veer into philosophical territory and her views on the way life is lived or should be lived by humanity. Those letters could get extremely tedious. I think that one has to have a general knowledge of the characters and setting of Blixen's Africa if one is to dive into these letters. Certainly, watching the film "Out Of Africa" will help you, as well as reading Blixen's book of the same name. There are many well-known figures who make appearances throughout the letters which the reader will know: the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII), some members of the Happy Valley set, and others. Good reading if you can disregard the philosophizing. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"Here is a rich new biographical perspective on the brilliant storyteller whose sophisticated romantic fiction . . . made her an international success and perpetual candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature. . . . [These letters] contain the raw material that was later transformed into her classic memoir Out of Africa (1937). They also reveal her as a highly intelligent and sensitive analyst of a strange new world."—Bruce Allen, Christian Science Monitor "Letters from Africa is literary gold, 24 karat."—Alden Whitman, Boston Globe Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
