After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark in 1931.

Out of Africa (1937) is an autobiographical account of the years she spent in Kenya. Most of her subsequent books were published in English and Danish simultaneously, including Winter’s Tales (1942) and The Angelic Avengers (1946), under the name of Pierre Andrézol.

Out of Africa: The movie and the life TRIVIA #27 (reprise) In the introduction to The Shooting Script for the film, the director Sydney Pollack writes, "The principles of good movie-making begin with 'What is the story?'. . .We finally settled on Possession. Freedom versus obligation. If I say I love you, what price am I expected to pay? To what extent am I obligated?" Using a few essential phrases, how might Karen Blixen have summed up the very different story she tells in her book? (Answer at the bottom of the page.)

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne 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?' The Cardinal looked up, met her eyes and smiled very gently. 'That,' he said, 'that, Madame, is a risk which the artists and the priests of this world have to run!' (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.

All had been attracted by the "Grand Opening" of the Blixen / Dinesen Exhibition, created by the Karen Blixen Museum in Denmark and made available through the Royal Danish Embassy in Ottawa. It was on loan to the U of A from the 26th of October to the 13th of November.

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.

Isak Dinesen God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road. Isak Dinesen I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots. Isak Dinesen I think it will be truly glorious when women become real people and have the whole world open to them. Isak Dinesen Love, with very young people, is a heartless business.
