About This Item
St. Martin's Press, 1983. 5TH. SOFTCOVER. VERY GOOD. pp. 495. Publisher: Kaliko Press; 1ST (January 1, 1997) Language: English SOFTCOVER: 220 pages Item Weight: 12.6 OUNCES. The first comprehensive biography of Dinesen provides a definitive portrait of the life, literary career, and art of the eminent woman writer. With exceptional grace, Judith Thurman 's classic work explores Dinesen's life--her privileged but unhappy childhood in Denmark, her marriage to Baron Blixen, their immigration to Africa on the eve of World War I, and her passionate affair with Denys Finch Hatton. Until the appearance of this book, the life and art of Isak Dinesen have been--as Dinesen herself wrote of two lovers in a tale-- a pair of locked caskets, each containing the key to the other. Judith Thurman has provided the master key to them both.
