Also published as ‚Anecdotes of Destiny‛. These five rich, witty and magical stories from the author of ‚Out of Africa‛ include one of her most well-known tales, ‚Babette’s Feast‛, which was made into an Academy Award-winning film. There is also a real-life Prospero and his Ariel in ‚Tempests‛, a mysterious pearl-fisher in ‚The Diver‛, a brief, tragic encounter in ‚The Ring‛, and the triangle of ‚The Immortal Story‛. All the stories have a mystic, fairy-tale quality, linked by themes of angels, the sea, dreams and fate. They were among the last to be written by Karen Blixen, and show her as a master of short fiction. Danish title: ‚Skæbne-anekdoter‛ (including ‚Babettes gæstebud‛, ‚Dykkeren‛, ‚Storme‛, ‚Den udødelige historie‛ and ‚Ringen‛).
