One of the great figures in twentieth century literature is Isak Dinesen ( the pen name of Baroness Karen Blixen). At the age of twenty-seven, she left Denmark and sailed for East Africa to marry her Swedish cousin, Baron Bror Blixen. Together they bought a four- thousand-acre coffee plantation in Kenya. For the next seventeen years she managed the plantation, even after she and her husband separated, and she recorded the experience in two memorable books, "Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass", both of which are filled with her affection for and understanding of the land and its people.
