OUT OF AFRICA - TANIA BLIXEN KARTONIERT (TB)

Karen Blixen was born in Rungsted  Denmark  in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen  Paris
and Rome  she married her cousin  Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke  in 1914. Together they managed a
coffee plantation in Kenya until they divorced in 1925. She continued on the farm until a
collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Rungsted in 1931. Although she had written
occasional contributions to Danish periodicals since 1905 (under the nom de plume of Osceola) 
her real debut took place in 1934 with the publication of Seven Gothic Tales   written in
English under the pen name  Isak Dinesen. Out of Africa (1937) is an autobiographical account
of the years she spent in Kenya. All of her subsequent books were published in both English and
Danish  including Winter's Tales (1942) and The Angelic Avengers (1936). Among her other
collections of stories are Last Tales (1957)  Anecdotes of Destiny (1958)  Shadows on the Grass
(1960) and posthumously Ehrengard (1963). In the 1950s she was mentioned several times as a
candidate to receive the Noble Prize in Literature. Baroness Blixen died in Rungsted in 1962.
In 1991 her house was opened as The Karen Blixen Museum.
