Geocache Description:


DK

En ny portrætstatue af den kvindelige forfatter Karen Blixen, er blevet opstillet på Sankt Annæ Plads i København.

Statuen er lavet i bronze af billedhugger Rikke Raben, og afsløringen fandt sted på Karen Blixens fødselsdag.

Karen Christentze Dinesen blev født den 17. april 1885 på gården Rungstedlund i Nordsjælland som andet barn ud af fem af forældrene Wilhelm og Ingeborg Dinesen.

Baronesse Karen von Blixen-Finecke (døbt Karen Christentze Dinesen født 17. april 1885 på Rungstedlund i Rungsted, død 7. september 1962 samme sted) var en dansk digter, forfatter og historiefortæller, som også skrev under pseudonymerne Isak Dinesen, Osceola og Pierre Andrézel. Karen Blixen betragtede sig selv som historiefortæller og har sammenlignet sig med Scheherazade, der i Tusind og en Nats eventyr fortæller kaliffen Shahryar eventyr. Hendes fortællinger og eventyr følger traditionen, og de fleste finder sted i det 19. århundrede eller tidligere. I Danmark, USA og England er Karen Blixen mest berømt for Syv fantastiske Fortællinger, Vinter-Eventyr og Den afrikanske Farm. Som kulturpersonlighed havde Karen Blixen udpræget talent for brevskrivning, og hun førte en stor korrespondance.

A new statue of Karen Blixen was placed here on her birthday. The statue is crafted by sculptur Rikke Raben.

Baroness Karen Christenze von Blixen-Finecke (born Dinesen; 17 April 1885 – 7 September 1962) was a Danish author who wrote in Danish and English. She is also known under her pen names Isak Dinesen, used in English-speaking countries; Tania Blixen, used in German-speaking countries; Osceola, and Pierre Andrézel.

Blixen is best known for Out of Africa, an account of her life while in Kenya, and for one of her stories, Babette's Feast. Each has been adapted as films and each won Academy Awards. She is also noted, particularly in Denmark, for her Seven Gothic Tales. Among her later stories are Winter's Tales (1942), Last Tales (1957), Anecdotes of Destiny (1958) and Ehrengard (1963).[1] The latter was adapted as a romantic comedy film Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction, directed by Bille August and in association with Netflix, which released it on streaming in late 2023.
