Condition: New. 2004 N&M reprint (original pub 1930). SB. 254pp with 15 illusPublished Price £11.50 This memoir was first published in Denmark entitled "No Man's Land" but when translated into English that title, for some reason, was changed to 'Merry Hell!", not, in my opinion, a very inspiring choice. Dinesen (1892-1979) was in Denmark when war broke out, and despite efforts to get to the war with the French Army, the French Foreign Legion and the British Army he was continually frustrated by officialdom who would not grant the necessary visa for him to get into France or UK. So he made it across to the USA where he tried again (for the American Army) and failed again. Finally he looked in on the Canadian HQ in New York and was given a warm welcome and advised to try for either The Princess Pat's or, if he liked the idea of wearing a kilt, The 42nd Royal Highlanders of Canada, The Canadian Black Watch. So he was trasported in a group of fourteen to Montreal where, on 26 June 1917, he enlisted in the The Royal Highlanders (Princess Pat's were not recruiting at the time) issued with a kilt and, handicapped by a limited knowledge of English, spent some time wondering why the regiment was named after a black watch. The first hundred or so pages describes all this and his training in Canada and in England till finally, on 15 March 1918, he arrives in France. His battalion was in 7th Brigade, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.This is certainly a rousing tale the way it is told with Dinesen frequently resorting to a sort of running commentary when describing the fighting. The action in which he won his VC near Parvillers in August 1918 during the course of prolonged hand-to-hand fighting through enemy trenches is written up with great gusto and makes a suitable climax to the book.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Tanne no es otra que Karen Blixen, quien además es Isak Dinesen, la autora mundialmente conocida por 'Memorias de África'. Su hermano Thomas desvela en este libro la infancia de la escritora danesa, fragmento de su vida apenas conocido. Pero en 'Mi hermana Tanne' hay mucho más que el relato de la niñez de una aristócrata. En estas páginas, y gracias a la correspondencia privada de Blixen, se da cuenta de la dura vida en África de una mujer sola en la lucha por sacar adelante una empresa cafetera en Kenia que parecía abocada al fracaso, como así fue. Son diez años de esfuerzos finalmente inútiles, en los que Blixen casi se deja su propia vida, así como sus esperanzas. De su propia mano, con su propia voz, Karen Blixen confiesa a través de sus cartas sus miedos, sus penurias y su desesperación, pero también refleja su decisión de ser ella misma, de luchar como mujer en un mundo de hombres. Y sobre todo, 'Mi hermana Tanne' es el testimonio del amor a África de un mujer independiente y de sus pasos para ser una escritora de renombre mundial. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
