About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press, 1982. This masterly, thorough, and immensely enlightening biography, originally published in 1982, was the winner of a National Book Award. With exceptional grace, Judith Thurman's classic work explores Isak Dinesen's life - her privileged but unhappy childhood in Denmark, her marriage to Baron Blixen and 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 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. Absorbing biography... this is a gothic tale worthy of the author. 495 pages.. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
