Blixen moved back to the family's estate of Rungstedlund (in Rungsted, Denmark), and lived with her mother; there she took up again the writing career that she had begun, but abandoned, in her youth. In 1934 she published a fiction collection, "Nine Tales", now known as "Seven Gothic Tales", and in 1937 she published her Kenyan memoir, "Out of Africa". The book's title was likely derived from the title of a poem, ""Ex Africa"," she had written in 1915, while recuperating in a Danish hospital from her fight with syphilis. The poem's title is probably an abbreviation of the famous ancient Latin adage (credited to sages from Aristotle to Pliny to Erasmus) "Ex Africa semper aliquid novi", which translates as “Out of Africa, always something new.”
