Danish literature

Danish literature (Danish: Dansk litteratur) stretches back to the Middle Ages. The earliest preserved texts from Denmark are runic inscriptions on memorial stones and other objects, some of which contain short poems in alliterative verse. In the late 12th century Saxo Grammaticus wrote Gesta Danorum. During the 16th century, the Lutheran Reformation came to Denmark. During this era, Christiern Pedersen translated the New Testament into Danish and Thomas Kingo composed hymns. Fine poetry was created in the early 17th century by Anders Arrebo (1587–1637). The challenges faced during Denmark's absolute monarchy in 1660 are chronicled in Jammersminde (Remembered Woes) by Leonora Christina of the Blue Tower.

Den afrikanske farm

Denne artikel omhandler romanen Den afrikanske Farm. Opslagsordet har også en anden betydning, se Mit Afrika.

Den afrikanske Farm (eng. Out of Africa) er et memoireværk af Karen Blixen. Hun udgav det under pseudonymet Isak Dinesen 6. oktober1937 i Danmark og samme år i Storbritannien; samt i USA i 1938). Det handler om de 17 begivenhedsrige år fra 1914 til 1931, hvor Karen Blixen drev en kaffefarm ved bjerget Ngong i Kenya, der dengang indgik i Britisk Østafrika. Værket udgør samtidig en lyriskmeditation over hendes liv og levned fra kaffeplantagen, såvel som en hyldest til nogle af dem, der rørte hendes liv der. Værket giver et levende øjebliksbillede både af afrikanernes og kolonisternes liv i Kenya under det Britiske Imperium, og naturen og landskabet i det kenyanske højland. Karen Blixen skrev oprindelig bogen på engelsk med titlen Out of Africa og genskrev den efterfølgende på dansk. Karen Blixen fortalte om bogens tilblivelse:
