Karen Blixen, author of the acclaimed memoir Out of Africa, was also a master of the short story form: her tales offer luminous meditations on rebirth and redemption, on the mystery and unexpectedness of human behaviour. Alongside ”Babette”s Feast”, this selection also includes ”Sorrow-Acre”, often thought to be one of her finest stories.
