Date de diffusion: Mar 11, 1985

Karen Blixen 's voyage to Africa in 1913 was a journey away from the 20th century. Kenya was then a semi-feudal society, a land of Masai and Kikuyu, teeming with game. In 1931 she returned to Denmark having lost her farm, her health, and her closest friends. Within a decade she had produced her three greatest books: 'Seven Gothic Tales', 'Out of Africa', and 'Last Tales'. Karen Blixen had become Isak Dinesen, the writer.
