Last Tales - Tapa blanda

These ornate, mysterious stories, written in Isak Dinesen's later years, range from a chilling gothic tale of sorcery and witchcraft, "The Caryatids", to a glittering, haunting depiction of an aristocratic family in 19th-century Denmark in "Copenhagen Season".

Karen Blixen (17th April 1885 - 7th September 1962) was a Danish author who wrote in Danish, English and French, also known by the pen name Isak Dinesen. Blixen married her cousin Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke in 1914 and moved with him to Kenya where they set up a coffee plantation. They divorced in 1921 and Blixen remained in Kenya for another ten years recording her experiences in her best-known work Out of Africa. In 1931 Blixen returned to Denmark where she would live until her death in 1962.
