København (Copenhagen), Gyldendal, 1942. 8vo. In the original green printed wrappers. With author's presentation-inscription to half title: ""Karen Blixen / Med en venlig hilsen / til den ukendte læser / der kommer til at eje / denne bog.- "" (i.e. ""Karen Blixen / With kind regards / to the unknown reader / who will come to own / this book."") and to the title-page: ""I en gammel engelsk by / havde en tredobblt ringmur / med en port i hvor midt- / over den første port stod indhugget: Be bold / over den anden: be bold. / over den treidje: be not too bold"" (i.e. ""In an old English town / there was a triple ring wall / with a gate in each / above the first gate was carved: Be bold / above the second: be bold. / above the third: be not too bold.""). Light wear to extremities, primarily hinges. Inner front hinge partly split. Internally nice and clean.
Eighth edition, presentation-copy, of the great author's immensely popular work, her second publication, which was first published in English in 1937 and is now a world classic. The first Danish edition of ""Out of Africa"" is translated by Blixen herself into her native language. It appeared after the English edition, but before the American one, and the Danish edition is rarer and more difficult to find in fair condition than both. It appeared in numerous editions within the author's lifetime and was translated into several languages. 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 here (she used to say that ""Africa made me""). The farm in the Ngong Hills is the centre of this world famous novel. She divorced her husband, who was cheating on her and gave her syphilis, 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. She greatly influenced writers and cultural personas of the generations to come, and many authors recognize the direct impact she has had on their writings. Several of her novels have been filmatized, most famously ""out of Africa"" with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize twice, she was elected honorary member of ""The American Academy of Arts and Letters"" (1957), and her portrait is printed on the Danish 50 kr. notes. She is the absolutely most famous of all modern Danish writers, and the only one of international fame.

First edition, with the author's inscription to half-title, of Blixen’s second collection of stories, Winter’s Tales, was published during the German occupation of Denmark. After the gothic, aristocratic and African settings of her two previous works, Blixen turns her gaze homeward in Winter’s Tales - towards Nordic landscapes and environments and towards a style more closely aligned with the Danish literary tradition.
