Work detailsIsak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller by Judith Thurman
None. This was an absolutely wonderful book. Judith Thurman really gives us a feel for Isak Dinesen and the world she lived in. It's an amazing story of love, loss, and life. Anyone remotely interested in Out of Africa, or Africa in general, would find this a most intriguing read. (  ) briandrewz | Jun 11, 2012 |  Read Beryl Markham instead- this prose is a little purple.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312135254, Paperback)Winner of the National Book Award A brilliant literary portrait, 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. (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:30:14 -0500) No library descriptions found. |
