In this book, 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.
The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald, and we were talking about doing a few books on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration and said, 'I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea, and Rockwell Kent said, 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So, sitting at my desk, he took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today.
This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.
一本关于生命的书籍,特别适合在肯尼亚炽热的阳光和凉爽的风中阅读的书籍。 第一次读是在马赛马拉帐篷酒店里地沙发椅上,旁边就是书中所描述的景象,世事变化,现在已经不能够狩猎,但依然能够感受到作者在非洲大陆上浓烈的爱、执着的生活和无尽的遗憾。 也许这就是人生。在绝...
评分 评分如果我没读过《走出非洲》的原著,恐怕同名电影就要占据我脑子20年,幸亏被老友抱青强迫了一把,把原著读了,然后心里冒出了跟抱青一样的评语,“那部电影算个屁啊”。这种断章取义的YY已经发生在“查令十字路八十四号”原著与电影中,用无中生有的细节臆想出整部电影。而原著...
评分电影《走出非洲》是我的最爱之一,当我怀着爱屋及乌的心情读完同名小说,我只能说,它们就像是同名的两朵花,没有孰优孰劣,完全是不同的感受。 电影让我怀着幽微悲戚的心情缅怀了一个结局令人遗憾的爱情故事;但读过小说,我才发现,有关爱情的篇章不过是广袤沙漠中的掠过的...
评分娓娓道来,不着痕迹而又扣人心弦引人入胜。不是风光散记,因为有作者自己生活在其中与许多的人物用心碰触着,又不像爱情小说那样绕来绕去不离爱恨情仇。一切是自然的,舒缓的,包括爱情、友情,而作者的人性感受和人文思考就化在这些跌宕起伏的情节间,词句里。好看!
