Shadows of the Grass
Blixen takes up the absorbing story of her life in Kenya begun in the unforgettable Out of Africa, which she published under the name of Isak Dinesen. With warmth and humanity these four stories illuminate her love both for the African people, their dignity and traditions, and for the beauty and wildness of the landscape. The first three were written in the 1950s and the last, ''Echoes from the Hills'', was written especially for this volume in the summer of 1960 when the author was in her seventies. In all they provide a moving final chapter to her African reminiscences.Blixen takes up the absorbing story of her life in Kenya begun in the unforgettable Out of Africa, which she published under the name of Isak Dinesen.

Babette's Feast and Other Stories

release date: Nov 08, 2018
Babette's Feast and Other Stories
These five rich, witty and magical stories include one of Dinesen''s most well known tales, ''Babette''s Feast'', which was made into the classic film. It tells the story of a French cook working in a puritanical Norwegian community, who treats her employers to the decadent feast of a lifetime. There is also a real-life Prospero and his Ariel in ''Tempests'', a mysterious pearl-fisher in ''The Diver'' and a brief, tragic encounter in ''The Ring''. All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate. They were among the last to be written by Isak Dinesen, and show her as a master of short fiction.

Cuentos completos 1
Primer volumen de los dos que componen los Cuentos completos de Isak Dinesen. El cuento fue uno de los géneros literarios en que más se prodigó y despuntó Karen Blixen, siempre bajo el seudónimo por el que fue conocida y saludada como voz imprescindible de la literatura del siglo XX: Isak Dinesen. Este volumen recoge su narrativabreve temprana, desde su primer libro, publicado en 1934, Siete cuentos góticos, hasta el compendio Anécdotas del destino (1958), pasando por sus célebres Cuentos de invierno (1942). Se incluyen así algunos de sus relatos más afamados, como «El mono», «La historia inmortal» o «El festín de Babette», en lo que constituye una puerta de entrada excepcional al universo literario de su autora. Mario Vargas Llosa dijo sobre Isak Dinesen... «Para ella contar era encantar. Sus cuentos son siempre engañosos, impregnados de elementos secretos e inapresables.»

Estos Cuentos completos 2 son el reflejo del desarrollo literario de Dinesen hasta su madurez y plenitud como escritora, y la culminación de la trayectoria de una voz esencial de la narrativa universal de los últimos años. Javier Marías dijo sobre la obra de Isak Dinesen... «Los cuentos de Isak Dinesen constituyen uno de los conjuntos más originales de la literatura del siglo XX.»

Vengadoras angelicales

release date: Dec 01, 2016
Vengadoras angelicales
Cuando una tiene «nazis en el jardín y judíos en la cocina», lo mejor es ponerse a escribir una novela. Eso hizo Isak Dinesen, autora de Memorias de África, en 1944, con su país ocupado por los alemanes, y de ello resultó Vengadoras angelicales. En su momento, Vengadoras angelicales se leyó como una alegoría política. Hoy sabemos que su contenido era mucho más ancho y más profundo. Una reflexión sobre la fuerza de la maldad, la potencia del amor, el significado y la necesidad del coraje. Y también una lúcida visión del papel contradictorio de la mujer en el mundo: adorada y ultrajada, apenas libre, objeto de comercio infame, manipulada hasta todos los abusos. Lectura amena y reveladora, Vengadoras angelicales es el más ambicioso trabajo narrativo de IsakDinesen. Ernest Hemingway dijo... «Hubiera sido feliz -más feliz- hoy si el Premio Nobel hubiese sido concedido a la maravillosa escritora Isak Dinesen.»

The Invincible Slave-Owners

release date: Mar 06, 2014
The Invincible Slave-Owners
Baden-Baden, 1875: an aristocratic spa town haven where Europe''s elite might ''take the waters'' and continue to perpetuate centuries of upper class tradition. Axel Leth, a young Danish nobleman, quietly performs his established role amidst ageing widows and retired generals. Enter Mizzie, a red-haired beauty, shy and demure in the custody of her governess, Miss Rabe. Axel quickly falls in love. But overhearing their tête-à-tête, he soon learns that their performance runs much deeper than the superficial customs of an upper-class watering-hole. In this tale of servants, owners and the sham of the aristocratic world, Isak Dinesen unravels the deep-rooted desire of rulers to rule and the crushing burden of pretence, upbringing and social acceptance.

Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard

release date: Apr 27, 2011
Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard
From the author of the timeless classic Out of Africa: five hauntingly evoked, sensuously realized stories and a novella “that belong in that special realm in which artistry is more real than reality” (TIME). • Ehrengard is soon to be a Netflix Film. “Dinesen’s stories are the work of a writer with a powerful imagination and a shrewd intelligence.” —The New York Times Book Review In the classic “Babette’s Feast,” a mysterious Frenchwoman prepares sumptuous feast for a gathering of religious ascetics and, in doing so, introduces them to the true essence of grace. In “The Immortal Story,” a miserly old tea-trader living in Canton wishes for power and finds redemption as he turns an oft-told sailors’ tale into reality for a young man and woman. And in the magnificent novella Ehrengard, Dinesen tells of the powerful yet restrained rapport between a noble Wagnerian beauty and rakish artist.

Cuentos reunidos Isak Dinesen
Por primera vez en un único volumen, todos los relatos publicados en vida de la autora de Memorias de África . «Me habría quedado más contento si este premio se hubiese otorgado a una magnífica escritora, Isak Dinesen», declaró Ernest Hemingway al recibir el Premio Nobel. Joyas como «El mono», «El festín de Babette» o «La historia inmortal», reunidas en estas páginas junto a todos los relatos publicados en vida de la autora, permiten comprender el alcance de sus palabras. «Para ella contar era encantar», escribió Mario Vargas Llosa. «Sus cuentos son siempre engañosos, impregnados de elementos secretos e inapresables.» Reseñas: «La embriaguez y lo despiadado son parte de su arte de cuentista.» John Updike «Los cuentos de Dinesen se proyectan como los destellos del faro de una costa extraña e infrecuentemente avistada; una costa a la vez bella y peligrosa, ya que promete ser un reducto mágico, pero se asienta sobre las rocas.» Eudora Welty

Babette's Feast

release date: Feb 15, 2011
Babette's Feast
�And it happened when Martine or Philippa spoke to Babette that they would get no answers, and would wonder if she had even heard what they said � Orshe would sit immovable on the three-legged kitchen chair, her strong hands in her lap and her dark eyes wide open, as enigmatical and fatal as a Pythia upon her tripod. At such moments, they realised that Babette was deep, and that in the soundings of her being there were passions, there were memories and longings of which they knew nothing at all.� Babette�s Feast is a sublime celebration of eating, drinking and sensual pleasure. In Isak Dinesen�s life-affirming short story, two elderly sisters living in a remote, god-fearing Norwegian community take in a mysterious refugee from Paris one night � and are rewarded for their kindness with the most decadent, luxurious feast of a lifetime.

The Angelic Avengers
Old Times in Oildom, published in 1911 by the Derrick Publishing Company of Oil City, Pennsylvania, contains the memoirs and stories of George W. Brown, who was deeply involved in the oil business in Pennsylvania in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Brown was a witness to times of profound change in the industrial and economic landscapes of Pennsylvania s oil regions, when technology rapidly developed and oil wells sprang up across the northern part of the state, irrevocably altering both the land itself and the communities living on it. He provides a detailed account of what life was like in the oildom of nineteenth-century Pennsylvania, from the striking of the first oil well, the famous Drake Well in Titusville, to the solidification of the industry in the early twentieth century. In addition to stories from his own life, Brown tells those of his prominent contemporaries, and includes a series of biographical sketches of men who played important roles in the Pennsylvania oil industry."

Sombras en la hierba

Sombras en la hierba
Sombras en la hierba prolonga y completa los recuerdos que Isak Dinesen recogió de su increíble vida en Kenia, cuya parte principal quedó plasmada en uno de los libros de memorias más bellos jamás escritos: Memorias de África. Son muchos los personajes y muchas las anécdotas que recorren como corrientes subterráneas las páginas de Sombras en la hierba: el comercio en Nairobi, la caza de leones homicidas, el mundo de los sueños, las danzas rituales en la granja y una multitud de pequeños acontecimientos extraordinarios vividos entre gentes más extraordinarias aún. Pero, a pesar de todo, no se puede hablar de autobiografía: de una u otra forma, la autora permanece al margen de la narración y cede el papel protagonista a quien nunca ha dejado de tenerlo: la vida, siempre diversa, indomable, cruel y tierna.
