Ich träumte von Afrika

In this autobiographical work, Kuki Gallmann describes her life journey from Italy to Kenya, where she moved with her family in search of a new beginning. After arriving on the African continent, she is faced with a completely different way of life, the demands of working on a farm and the beauty of untouched nature. Africa becomes a place of freedom for her, but also great life challenges.

Over the years, the author experiences a series of difficult personal tragedies, including the death of her husband and son. Despite deep pain, she does not give up on the life she has chosen. She finds her strength in her connection with African nature and dedicates herself to protecting wild animals and preserving the environment. She particularly emphasizes the importance of elephants, rhinos and other endangered species and describes the daily fight against poaching and the destruction of natural habitats.

The book is not only an autobiography but also a powerful testimony of love for Africa, respect for different cultures and man's responsibility towards nature. The author speaks honestly about loss, courage, hope and the ability to find new meaning after major life blows. The work leaves a strong impression because it shows how love for people and nature can help a person get through the most difficult moments and encourages the reader to think about the value of life and the importance of preserving the world that surrounds us.
