Out of Africa is an autobiographical book by Isak Dinesen. It is about European settlers in Kenya.
In 1985, a film based on the book (as well as Dinesen's Shadows on the Grass) and bearing the same title appeared. The film was adapted by Kurt Luedtke, directed by Sydney Pollack, and starred Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. It received Academy Awards for Art Direction, Cinematography, Director, Original Score, Best Picture, Sound, and Adapted Screenplay.
