From the author of the timeless classic Out of Africa five hauntingly evoked, sensuously realized stories and a novella that belong in that special realm in which artistry is more real than reality (TIME). - Ehrengard is Now a Netflix Film.
Dinesen's stories are the work of a writer with a powerful imagination and a shrewd intelligence. --The New York Times Book Review

In the classic Babette's Feast, a mysterious Frenchwoman prepares sumptuous feast for a gathering of religious ascetics and, in doing so, introduces them to the true essence of grace. In The Immortal Story, a miserly old tea-trader living in Canton wishes for power and finds redemption as he turns an oft-told sailors' tale into reality for a young man and woman. And in the magnificent novella Ehrengard, Dinesen tells of the powerful yet restrained rapport between a noble Wagnerian beauty and rakish artist.
