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.

Original type-written letter, signed ""Tanne"". - [A MOST INTERESTING LETTER BY KAREN BLIXEN REFLECTING ON ""SIDSTE FORTÆLLINGER""]
Rungstedlund, 8. Januar, 1958. Original typewritten letter (230 x 195 mm), 4 page, 80 lines. Signed ""Din / Tanne"" (i.e. ""Your / Tanne""). Horisontal fold, otherwise fine and clean. 2 ff.
A most interesting and reflecting four-page typed and signed letter from Danish author Karen Blixen addressed to a unknown woman named Karen. Blixen here responds to the recipient's comments on her recently published “Sidste Fortællinger” (“Last Tales”) and discusses both literary interpretation and some of the criticism. Blixen begins by thanking Karen warmly for her letter and says she has been deeply touched by the generous praise of “Sidste Fortællinger”. She is particularly pleased that the recipient enjoyed ""Ib og Adelaïde."" She explains that the story was never intended as a literal account of real people, but rather as a fantasy inspired by earlier generations of the Dinesen, Galt, and Frijs families. She then discusses the historical figures behind the story. Contrary to what Karen apparently suggested, Blixen does not believe that Agnes Frijs was a calculating or cold beauty. Instead she argues that the Frijs, Blixen, and Dinesen families all inherited a certain brilliant eccentricity through the Haffner family while the more unsettling traits belonged to the other branch of the family. Toward the end she quotes a humorous passage from Shakespeare's “Henry IV” making the point that human nature comes in many forms. She concludes that she has no wish to persuade or convert anyone, only to remain true to her artistic conscience. The letter ends affectionately with New Year's wishes saying she often thinks of Karen and misses her. We have not been to determine who Karen, the recipient, were. “In “Last Tales” Karen Blixen chose to collect together some of the tales that were to have been included in the new collections. For this reason they are not as uniform in theme and content as the stories in “Seven Gothic Tales” and “Winter’s Tales”. Nevertheless, “Last Tales” sold an impressive thirty-five thousand copies in two months, and was published simultaneously in ten languages in November, 1957, selling in total half a million copies.” (Karen Blixen Museum, Blixen.dk) The legendary Karen Blixen-Finecke (1885-1962), who wrote under the male pseudonym Isak Dinesen, 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.
Original type-written letter, signed ""Tanne"".
Rungstedlund, 2.8.1957. Original typewritten letter (225 x 195 mm), 2 page, 39 lines. Signed ""Din / Tanne"" (i.e. ""Your / Tanne""). Horisontal fold, otherwise fine and clean. 1 ff.
A most interesting two-page typed letter from Danish author Karen Blixen addressed to a unknown woman named Thyra (but most likely a family member). Having learned of Thyra's condition from another woman named Karen, Blixen writes simply to let her know that she has been constantly in her thoughts. She wishes she could be sitting beside her bed and hopes the letter can be read to her gradually if she is too weak. Blixen reflects on the strength of family ties. Although relatives may grow up in very different circumstances they remain connected by shared memories and origins. Quoting Wordsworth's phrase ""man's unconquerable mind"" Blixen says that Thyra has always possessed this quality.
Orig. handwritten and signed letter for ""Kjære Fru Munch Andersen."" (Dear Mrs. Munch Andersen). - [A HANDWRITTEN LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR OF ""OUT OF AFRICA""]
Dated ""20.8.43"". 2 pages 8vo. Written on blue paper w. the letterhead ""Wedellsborg/ Ejby."" The letter is a polite refusal to an invitation to give a lecture. It translates as thus: ""I am very sorry/ that that you have not/ received an answer to your letter/ sooner. For about a month/ I have been travelling around Funen, and/ I have been staying numerous/ places, and unfortunately I have not/ received your letter, there/ has possibly been an incorrect re-addressing and thereby delay./ I am sorry that I can/ not accept your/ kind request to/ give a lecture at your place. -/ In the fall I will/ have so much to do that I can/ not accept any more/ engagements. -/ Kind regards/ Yours sincerely/ Karen Blixen-Finecke.""
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"").

She is the absolutely most famous of all modern Danish writers, and the only one of international fame.
