‎Beyond Borders. Isabel Miquel Arqu s in dialogue with Karen Blixen is published by Ludion and is part of a trilogy that is an artistic dialogue between the artist and female icons such as Karen Blixen, Virginia Woolf and Georgia O'Keeffe. In the first part of this trilogy, Isabel links her own life to that of the Danish writer Karen Blixen by means of photographs, screen prints and short fragments of prose and poetry. Arqu s interweaves the impressions that she gathered in Blixen's house, world, novels and biography into a new story of poetic images. /// Het werk van de Spaanse kunstenares Isabel Miquel Arqu s, die sinds vijftien jaar in Antwerpen woont, wordt ge nspireerd door haar omgeving; in het bijzonder de artistieke dialoog met andere vrouwelijke kunstenaars zoals Karen Blixen, Virginia Wolf en Georgia O'Keefe. In Beyond Borders verbindt ze aan de hand van beeld en tekst haar eigen leven met dat van de Deense schrijfster Karen Blixen (1885 - 1962), wiens bekendste boeken, Out of Africa en Babette's Feast, met succes verfilmd werden. Arqu s doet dit aan de hand van oogverblindende foto's en zeefdrukken, en door middel van korte maar wel gekozen proza- en po ziefragmenten. Arqu s bezocht meerdere keren Rungstedlund, Blixens huis dat nu een museum is. Ze fotografeerde er de voorwerpen die Blixen dagelijks gebruikte, zaken die haar fysieke realiteit vormden. Aan de hand daarvan ontstond in Arqu s' verbeelding een parallel verhaal, haar verhaal, dat zich langzaam vervlocht met dat van Karen Blixen. Terwijl ze een foto nam van het tapijt in de woonkamer, dreven haar gedachten weg. Ze zag niet langer een tapijt maar een wegenkaart, een vertrekpunt en een bestemming, kruispunten en zijpaden, een levensloop. In andere stukken zag ze Blixens reizen, de landen die ze bezocht had, zee n en landschappen. Beyond Borders vormt het visuele resultaat van de indrukken die Aqu s opdoet in het huis, de leefwereld, de romans en de biografie van Karen Blixen en die op hun beurt leiden tot nieuwe po tische beelden. Een boek om voor altijd te koesteren.‎

‎Den afrikanske Farm. (Out of Africa). - [PRESENTATION-COPY]‎

‎(Copenhagen), Gyldendal, 1958. 8vo. Bound uncut, partly unopened with the original printed front-wrapper in a full cloth binding. With author's presentation to half-title: ""Philip Ingerslev / fra / Karen Blixen. / ""Je respondrai."""". Very light wear to extremities, otherwise a nice and clean copy. 298, (3) pp. ‎

‎Presentation-copy to Blixen's lawyer of the fourtheenth's edition 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. Ingerslev, as the lawyer for Karen Blixen and the executor of her estate, he assisted – with support from the Dinesen family – in establishing the Rungstedlund Foundation, thereby ensuring the preservation of the Rungstedlund estate for posterity, which now serves as the seat of the Danish Academy.In Africa Karen Blixen adopted Denys Finch Hatton’s family motto “Je responderay” (“I will answer”), underlying its ethical meanings with her own interpretation, “I will answer for my words and actions, I will be true to myself, I will be responsible”. 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.‎

(i.e. Karen Blixen / With kind / regards / April 1953). Light wear to spine-ends and inner front hinge partly split. Last half of bookblock with dampstain to upper inner margin. 76, (1) pp. ‎

‎Presentation-copy of the first edition of Blixen's daguerreotypes. ""Through these daguerreotypes we begin to understand other periods, the renunciations of World War I, the purpose of houses and mansions, of ritual ceremonials, such as tatooing. We are given a fresh and vivid view of the women's movement . . . which urges that what our 'small society' needs beyond human beings who have demonstrated what they can do, is people who are. 'Indeed, our own time,' she wrote in 1953, 'can be said to need a revision from doing to being.' She demonstrated it in her own work and craft, with courage and with dignity. This collection is as real as a gallery of old daguerreotypes, moving and unfaded. The work, as Hannah Arendt says, of a wise woman."" (Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times)‎
