191 books447 followersKaren Christentze Dinesen, Baroness Blixen-Finecke - wrote as Isak Dinesen, Pierre Andrézel, other pseudonyms: Tania Blixen, Osceola, etc.
A 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 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, who was her great fellow countryman. She wrote in English and in Danish.
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.

3.5/4⭐️
Un peu difficile à démarrer, j’ai presque voulu arrêter la lecture: beaucoup de descriptions (historique, de lieux, de personnages, sans aucune mise en contexte), et beaucoup trop de personnages, j’ai finis par m’y perdre et ne plus savoir qui était qui.
A partir du moment où les dialogues ont commencés, j’ai plus vite été plongée dans l’histoire, et je l’ai lu d’une traite.
Je ne me suis pas remise de la fin.

Bien mais un peu dramatique, se laisser mourir car ils ne peuvent pas être ensemble entre cousins ! Cette nouvelle mériterait d être plus longue !!

Finir l’année avec une histoire d’amour, triste et dramatique. Parfait 🤭
