About this listen

I Afrika kaldte de hende "The Lioness". Hun ankom i januar 1914 med store drømme om et nyt og frit liv, og forlod kontinentet ribbet for alt i 1931. I de 17 år, hun boede i Kenya, var hun gift med - og skilt fra - den svenske baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, der smittede hende med syfilis. Hun havde en lidenskabelig affære med den engelske adelsmand Denys Finch Hatton, og i ti år var hun direktør for Karen Coffee Company, en stor kaffefarm med flere hundrede ansatte.

Med sin medrivende og store fortælleglæde og på baggrund af en omfattende, nylig offentliggjort brevkorrespondance, der gør det muligt at tegne et nyt og frisk portræt af LØVINDEN, skildrer Tom Buk-Swienty Blixens liv i Kenya, præget af økonomiske trængsler, storslåede safarier, fejlslagen høst, verdenskrig, faldende konjunkturer, skilsmisse, forelskelse, grænseløs kærlighed til landet og dets sorte befolkning – og tabet af det alt sammen. Farmen gik konkurs, Denys blev dræbt i et flystyrt, hun var dybt fortvivlet, forsøgte selvmord, men begyndte samtidig for alvor at skrive. Tilbage i Danmark skabte hun sig et verdensnavn som "story-teller".

I enjoyed it immensely. Karen Blixen really came alive and her life is extraordinary and interesting.
