5/27/2023 0 Comments Babette’s Feast by Isak DinesenThe Immortal Story talks of two men, a merchant in Canton China and his clerk, and how their lives become woven together.Īnd finally, The Ring, relating what happens to a young Danish couple one July. There is also Tempests, dealing with a young actress and the way her life is affected by a shipwreck in Norway. The 'Other Anecdotes of Destiny' in this volume include The Diver, with its main character who yearns to talk with angels so much that he builds himself a pair of wings. Very few authors are able to create the moods that Dinesen manages with her words. The story of the mysterious servant and what she does to repay her benefactors for their thoughtfulness toward her is beautifully told. This is the first time I have read this collection, but I have read the single story Babette's Feast in the past, after seeing the movie of the same name.
