About this product

Product Information

All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate. They were among the last to be written by Isak Dinesen, and show her as a master of short fiction. These five rich, witty and magical stories from the author of Out of Africa include one of her most well-known tales, 'Babette's Feast', which was made into the classic film. It tells the story of a French cook working in a puritanical Norwegian community, who treats her employers to the decadent feast of a lifetime. There is also a real-life Prospero and his Ariel in 'Tempests', a mysterious pearl-fisher in 'The Diver' and a brief, tragic encounter in 'The Ring'. All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate. They were among the last to be written by Isak Dinesen, and show her as a master of short fiction. 'Immensely satisfying . . . splendid imaginative creations, the work of a writer of stature.' The Times Literary Supplement 'Acutely perceptive, often mysterious stories.' Sunday Telegraph

Babette
Babette's Feast is a great story with real characters. The DVD movie by the same name is true to the story. It is a sweet story about a Parisian chef who has to flee France during the 1830 revolution in which her husband and son were killed. A group of secluded orthodox Christians take Babette in and keep her alive. She eventually treats them to a world class dinner as a way to thank them for their kindness.

Sleek book, great stories!
Great book, excellent condition. I like the feel of the book in my hands, it has a nice weight without being to heavy.
