Bookquest: Copenhagen, Denmark

8/23/2013 - Arnold Busck Bookstore


Out of Africa, by Karen Blixen

Out of Africa is a Danish baroness's memoirs of her time in colonial Africa. It's supposed to be a sad book; the author recalls Kenya as a lost world. 

I wasn't surprised to see that the bookstore had many good English language options. Everywhere I went in Copenhagen, the locals spoke very good English. Unfortunately, like other cities, there aren't many contemporary Danish books that are translated in English.
