   Extractions: Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen Biography K aren Blixen remains a complex figure in the writing and history of colonial Africa. Author, storyteller, and early colonizer, she helped to define Africa and its people for the many Europeans who read her novels, chiefly Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass . Criticism of her work frequently shifts from admiration of her form to outrage at her portrayal of Africans. Karen Blixen's complicated life and work continue to be studied, debated, and questioned in light of both the colonial society she inhabited and the modern reality of a postcolonial world. Karen Blixen in Africa B lixen's marriage proved an unhappy one and resulted in divorce in 1921 as well as a battle with syphilis a few years earlier. Despite this, Blixen found her years in Africa to be her most liberating and challenging. After her divorce, she ran the coffee farm by herself and lived alone, a practice fairly uncommon at the time. She speaks of her years in Africa as a relief from her former life: "Here at long last one was in a position not to give a damn for all conventions, here was a new kind of freedom which until then one had only found in dreams" (29). Blixen found herself outside the Victorian world of Denmark and immersed in the aristocracy of colonial Africa. She earned the coveted status of an early settler-a position that gave her freedom and standing in society life. Her writing of Africa filters through this position of social privilege that enabled her to watch and comment on the natives and the land from a position of authority in the eyes of her time.

    Extractions: Karen Blixen (1885-1962) Danish writer, who mixed in her work supernatural elements, aestheticism, and erotic undertones with an aristocratic view of life. Blixen always emphasized that she was a storyteller ( fortaellerske ) in the traditional, oral sense of the word. She drew her inspiration from the Bible, the Arabian Nights, the works of Homer, the Icelandic sagas, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, her great countryman. Blixen's stories have inspired such film makers as Orson Welles and Sydney Pollack. She wrote in English and in Danish. 'Are you sure,' she asked, 'that it is God whom you serve?' (from 'The Cardinal's Fist Tale') Baroness Karen Blixen was born in Rungsted, Denmark, into a well-to-do patrician family. She was the daughter of Ingeborg Westenholz Dinesen, and the writer and army officer Wilhelm Dinesen, whose adventuresome spirit and storytelling talents influenced deeply Blixen's imagination. She spent her childhood on the family estate in Rungsted. Throughout her life Blixen's outlook and manner were unabashedly aristocratic. At early age, Blixen showed an artistic inclination. She attended the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen, and also studied in England, Switzerland, Italy, and France. In 1907 Blixen made her debut as a writer with several short stories. In 1914 she married her cousin Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, and went with him to Kenya, where they run coffee plantation. After they were divorced in 1921, Blixen struggled with mismanagement, drought, and the falling price of coffee by herself but in 1931 she returned to Denmark.

But though some liberties were taken in the movie, it is mostly true, adapted from the author's autobiographical book of the same title, and suggests that one of Blixen's greatest stories was the one she actually lived. Karen Dinesen was born in 1885 in Denmark into a wealthy family. She was interested in writing and art as a young girl, and studied in Copenhagen as well as other European cities. Her first story, "The Hermits," was published in 1907 when she was 22 under the pen name Osceola (the name of a Seminole leader). Another story followed later that year, and a third in 1909. Her writing activity dwindled for many years after these publications, some say in part due to the subdued response these early stories received. In 1909 Karen fell in love with Baron Hans von Blixen-Finecke, but the relationship didn't work out and instead she married his twin brother Bror. In 1914, the same year they married, the couple moved to Kenya and began operating a coffee plantation. The next year she realized she had contracted syphilis from her philandering husband, and returned to Denmark for treatment, but soon thereafter she rejoined him in Africa. Yet their marriage, not surprisingly, was not a happy one and the couple separated in 1921. In the meantime, Blixen had fallen in love with a hunter, Denys Finch Hatton. Their sporadic relationship lasted many years, though the couple never married, until Hatton was killed in a plane crash in 1931. This same year the coffee company, which Blixen had been running herself, fell on hard times, so she decided to move back to Denmark.
