Seller: Argonaut Book Shop

Title: Seven Gothic Tales
Author: Dinesen, Isak
Seller: Argonaut Book Shop (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: New York: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, 1934 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition of Blixen's first book which was first published in America, then in England the same year, and in a re-written edition in Danish in 1935. Pp. x, [4], 420. Original three-quarter crimson cloth, beige paper sides with gilt medallion on front cover, gilt lettering to lettering on spine. Small unobtrusive spot to front cover. Bookplate on inner cover. Dust jacket price unclipped. A fine and clean copy with very good pictorial dust jacket (jacket lightly chipped at top and bottom edges, front hinge rubbed). The legendary Danish writer, Karen Blixen-Finecke (pseudonym: Isak Dinesen) (1885-1962), was a Danish baroness, who married her cousin, the Swedish Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. They soon moved to Africa, where they ran a coffee-farm near Nairobi, and the happiest years of Blixen's life were spent there. She divorced her husband, who was cheating on her, in 1922, and in 1932 she moved back to Denmark after the farm had gone bankrupt and her lover, Denys Finch-Hatton, had died in a plane-crash. She spent the remaining 30 years of her life in Denmark, and died a legendary writer. This collection, consisting of stories set mostly in the nineteenth century, contains her tales "The Deluge at Norderney" and "The Supper at Elsinore"..
