With this book, Karen Blixen (a.k.a. Isak Dinesen) achieved an international breakthrough when it was published in the United States in 1934. From the back cover: "Disse raffinerede noveller om menneskets afmagt over for sin skæbne, om forholdet mellem mandigt and kvindeligt, mellem livet og kunsten vakte betydelig opsigt ved udgivelsen." [These refined short stories about humankind's powerlessness over its destiny, about the relationship between masculine and feminine, between life and art, caused a considerable sensation upon publication.] Even today, these "Seven Gothic Tales," as they are known in English, remain powerful and fascinating. This book is like new, with a sticker on the back cover indicating it is from the Karen Blixen Museum. Hardback. 482 pages. Published by Gyldendal. Copyright 1961. Printed in Sweden 2006.
