TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN(ISBN=9780812968927) 英文原版 pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　A champion of Africa, legendary for his good looks, his charm,

and his prowess as a soldier, lover, and hunter, Denys Finch Hatton

inspired Karen Blixen to write the unforgettable Out of Africa. Now

esteemed British biographer Sara Wheeler tells the truth about this

extraordinarily charismatic adventurer.

Born to an old aristocratic family that had gambled away most of

its fortune, Finch Hatton grew up in a world of effortless elegance

and boundless power. In 1910, searching for something new, he

arrived in British East Africa and fell in love–with a continent,

with a landscape, with a way of life that was about to change

forever. In Nairobi, Finch Hatton met Karen Blixen and embarked on

one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century.

Intellectual equals, Finch Hatton and Blixen were genuine pioneers

in a land that was quickly being transformed by violence, greed,

and bigotry. Ever restless, Finch Hatton wandered into a career as

a big-game hunter and became an expert bush pilot. Mesmerized all

his life by the allure of freedom and danger, Finch Hatton was,

writes Wheeler, “the open road made flesh.”
