Out of Africa is a semi-autobiographical story about the Duchess Karen von Blixen-Finecke and her seventeen-year stay on her coffee plantation in British East Africa, present-day Kenya. The book does not rely heavily on chronological narration and is broken into five parts, each dealing with different aspects of Blixen's residence and her dealings with the surrounding peoples. It is a meditation on colonialism, the twilight of the British Empire, and the country of Kenya itself.
