This book is an all-round presentation of Karen Blixens works. Karen Blixen`s works are explored in the light of a passionate insistence on living out this double nature of the divine and the demonic. The aristocratic viewpoint is in tune with eternity and places no obstructive morality between self and life. The aesthetic guidelines for literary form as advovated by Karen Blixen are discussed, and her view of art is similarly defined and explained as aristocratic. Her private correspondence is drawn upon to shed new light on her life and work. Photographs and color pictures of Karen Blixens art work are also included.
