Isak Dinesen the life of Karen Blixen

Paperback

Condition: Good

Isak Dinesen remains the only comprehensive biography of one of the greatest storytellers of our time. Her magnificent memoir; Out of Africa; established Isak Dinesen as a major twentieth-century author; who was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize. & With exceptional grace; Judith Thurman's classic work explores Dinesen's life. 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. --> Genre: Biography & Autobiography General
