Many readers welcomed the opportunity to see the veil of Dinesen's mysterious public persona lifted, to enter the sanctuary of her world. Others were outraged by what they considered a betrayal of the confidence that the older writer had placed in her young protégé".…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un testimonio único y revelador sobre la fascinante y aterradora personalidad de la autora de Lejos de África En 1948 el joven poeta Thorkild Bjørnvig visitó Rung-stedlund, la mítica mansión de Karen Blixen, sin sospe-char que su vida estaba a punto de dar un vuelco extraor-dinario. Se le había convocado bajo el falso pretexto de que la sobrina de Blixen admiraba sus poemas, pero era la célebre autora de Lejos de África quien deseaba conocerle. Esta mentira piadosa dio pie a una tortuosa amistad por la que Bjørnvig pagaría un alto precio. Totalmente subyugado por el carisma y las atenciones de la baronesa von Blixen, Bjørnvig accedió a un pacto desigual: a cambio de convertirse en aprendiz y confidente de una mujer que le doblaba la edad, soportaría toda clase de caprichos, desplantes y manipulaciones. Pese a ello, existió entre ambos una emocionante compenetración espiritual ?con visos de amor platónico? que aflora en la correspondencia incluida en este libro y en las conversaciones que mantuvieron en Rungstedlund. Blixen ejerció un magisterio tan sublime como aterrador sobre su amigo, con quien rememoró sus años en África y departió acerca de temas tan dispares como el eros, el cristianismo, los experimentos con animales o la decadencia del mundo moderno. Publicado veinte años después de la ruptura entre sus protagonistas, El pacto es un testimonio excepcional de la sinuosa personalidad de Karen Blixen y de los riesgos del arte entendido como vocación sagrada. La crítica ha dicho. . . «Este libro se lee como una novela que registra con todo detalle el crecimiento y el declive del afecto. » William Jay Smith «Un libro extraordinario sobre una relación extraordinaria. » ?Los Angeles Review of Books *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
