The Master Storyteller: Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen,
This review is from: Carnival: Entertainments and Posthumous Tales (Paperback)
Recently back in print! Here is a collection of eleven Dinesen tales which cannot generally be found elsewhere, but which are discussed in most of the prominent biographies of this author.This collection was first published in 1977 after Karen Blixen's death in 1962. Blixen's literary executors exercised great care in selecting a beautiful ensemble of archived stories to fully delight and entrance the modern reader. Bask in the intricate dreamworld Dinesen created in her early tales (juvenilia) of "Uncle Theodore" and "Carnival" plus "The DeCats Family" which is my personal favorite! Or treat yourself to a grownup's bedtime story called "The Ghost Horses" with a lasting bittersweet aroma that will spark even more curious wonders within your own dreamscape. The final tale in this volume called "The Second Meeting" will also inspire you to create your own tale of what it might be like to have one last unforgettable moment with Isak Dinesen herself! Yes, everyone... this modest paperback will feel (figuratively anyhow) like some wonderful old gilt-edged storybook bound in fine Moroccan leather. How I wish it were! |
