Letters from Africa, 1914-1931 Dinesen, Isak; Lasson, Frans and Born, Anne

Description

“Here is a rich new biographical perspective on the brilliant storyteller whose sophisticated romantic fiction . . . made her an international success and perpetual candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature. . . . [These letters] contain the raw material that was later transformed into her classic memoir
Out of Africa (1937). They also reveal her as a highly intelligent and sensitive analyst of a strange new world.”—Bruce Allen,
Christian Science Monitor

“
Letters from Africa is literary gold, 24 karat.”—Alden Whitman,
Boston Globe
