‘With Potocki,' Italo Calvino wrote, ‘we can understand that the fantastic is the exploration of the obscure zone where the most unrestrained passions of desire and the terrors of guilt mix together.' The gothic is a central seam of the fantastic, and in this episode Marina and Adam turn to two writers in that mode who lived over a hundred years apart but drew on the period of the Napoleonic wars: Jan Potocki and Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of Karen Blixen). Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa (1805) is a complex sequence of tales within tales, written from the point of view of the early 19th century but describing events in Spain in the 18th century. It's a powerful commentary on the preoccupations of the Enlightenment and the repression of historical guilt. In Seven Gothic Tales (1934), Dinesen confronts some of the most unsettling aspect of sexual guilt and desire with psychological astuteness. Adam and Marina discuss the ways in which, in both works, the gothic was able to explore areas of human experience that other genres struggled to accommodate.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

In the stories of Franz Kafka we find the fantastical wearing the most ordinary, realist dress. Though haunted by abjection and failure, Kafka has come to embody the power and potential of literary imagination in the 20th century as it confronts the nightmares of modernity. In this episode, Marina Warner is joined by Adam Thirlwell to discuss the ways in which Kafka extended the realist tradition of the European novel by drawing on ‘simple forms' – proverbs, wisdom literature and animal fables – to push the boundaries of what literature could explore, with reference to stories including ‘The Judgment', ‘In the Penal Colony' and ‘A Report to the Academy'.Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from this episode.

La gracia es ilimitada Los seres humanos somos frágiles y necios. Nos han dicho que la gracia se puede encontrar en el universo. Sin embargo, en nuestra necedad y miopía humana, imaginamos que la gracia divina es finita, y por esta razón temblamos. Pero llega un momento en el que se nos abren los ojos y vemos que la gracia es infinita. La gracia no exige nada de nosotros, excepto que la esperemos con confianza y la reconozcamos con gratitud. La gracia no impone condiciones y no señala a ninguno de nosotros en particular. La gracia nos acoge a todos en su seno y proclama una amnistía general. (Isak Dinesen).

The Woody Allen movie, "Manhattan," includes a scene where two couples are walking and the one played by Michael Murphy and Diane Keaton unveil their Academy of Overrated.  To this body they assign Gustav Mahler, Isak Dinesen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Lenny Bruce, Norman Mailer, Mozart, , Vincent Van Gogh, and Ingmar Bergman.  The co-hosts on this recording, Korey Maas (Lutheran), Miles Smith (Anglican), and D. G. Hart (Presbyterian), consider their own list of overrated theologians.  The ones discussed are Karl Barth, the recently deceased Juergen Moltmann, and C. S. Lewis.   The reason behind raising the question is not to belittle any of these theologians' achievements but to consider how it is that a theologian -- when there are so many -- emerges as the "go to" authority for ending a doctrinal debate.  It also relates to confessional Protestant theological traditions in which those students training for a specific communion are going to be much more likely to read theologians in the Lutheran, Reformed, or Anglican traditions -- instead of reading broadly in the theologians who transcend specific Protestant communions.  A final thread of conversation was whether the "big names" of Protestant theology can survive in an age of megachurches and church planting networks.   The sponsor this time is Ethan's Donut Factory in downtown Hillsdale, Michigan. 

In How to Know a Person, David Brooks devotes an entire chapter to what he calls life stories. https://files.constantcontact.com/d3875897501/1021ea46-026b-4259-9de3-6f87a6cefd69.pdf?rdr=true "Coming up with a personal story is centrally important to leading a meaningful life. You can't know who you are unless you know how to tell your story. You can't have a stable identity unless you take the inchoate events of your life and give your life meaning by turning the events into a coherent story. You can know what to do next only if you know what story you are a part of. And you can endure present pains only if you can see them as part of a story that will yield future benefits. “All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story,” as the Danish writer Isak Dinesen said. (p. 217)" Our Torah reading this week offers the official, canonical life story of the Jewish people. This story is so central that it is the heart of the the Haggadah and the foundation of our Passover seder. https://files.constantcontact.com/d3875897501/9e518f3e-016a-4427-b935-e9cbaa5a6b31.pdf?rdr=true In Brooks' analysis, a life story has low points, high points, and transition points. So too the Jewish people's story: low points (slavery in Egypt), high points (the Exodus), and transition points (entry into the land of Israel). https://files.constantcontact.com/d3875897501/d1c8d370-7521-4ebc-984e-f1638f904429.pdf?rdr=true As we prepare ourselves for Rosh Hashanah, how is your life story going? Is this current chapter a low point, a high point, a transition point, or some combination of the above? Where do you want your life story to go in this next year? Brooks puts it nicely: it is good to see our life as a “noble struggle.” What is our “noble struggle” now?

¡Bienvenidos una semana más a Gabinete de Curiosidades! En estas fiestas, a menos de una semana de acabar el año, toca hacer balance de las lecturas de este 2023. Para ello he preparado dos programas: el primero, este, dedicado a los diez mejores cuentos que he leído este año, y el segundo a las diez mejores novelas leídas este año. Este 2023 ha sido un muy buen año a nivel de lecturas, y he podido leer muchísimos cuentos. Podéis imaginaros lo mucho que me ha costado seleccionar diez cuentos, por lo que también he incluido un pequeño apartado de menciones honoríficas. Los cuentos incluidos en este programa son los siguientes: -La araña cangrejo de Erkmann-Chatrian -El pase de lista del arrecife de Arthur Quiller Couch -Un destripador de antaño de Emilia Pardo Bazán -Los místicos de Muelenburg de Thomas Ligotti -Si todos los hombres fueran hermanos ¿dejarías que alguno se casara con tu hermana? de Theodor Sturgeon -Paraísos perdidos de Ursula K. Le Guin -Doña Berta de Clarín -Un planeta llamado Shayol de Cordwainer Smith -El profesor Gottesman y el rinoceronte indio de Peter S. Beagle -El festín de Babette de Isak Dinesen

The only thing which we may take with us from our life on earth are those things which we have given away. – Babette's Feast Friends, The feast of Christmas is drawing near. In preparation, I invite you to share this gift for the soul with the like-hearted among our global community. In Babette's Feast, Isak Dinesen explores the riches of Christ's grace in story form. This dialogue from one of his characters caught my attention: “‘Man, my friends,' said General Loewenhielm, ‘is frail and foolish. We have all of us been told that grace is to be found in the universe. But in our human foolishness and short‐sightedness, we imagine divine grace to be finite. For this reason, we tremble….We tremble before making our choice in life, and after having made it again tremble in fear of having chosen wrong. But the moment comes when our eyes are opened, and we see and realize that grace is infinite. Grace, my friends, demands nothing from us but that we shall await it with confidence and acknowledge it in gratitude. Grace, brothers, makes no conditions and singles out none of us in particular; grace takes us all to its bosom and proclaims general amnesty. See! That which we have chosen is given us, and that which we have refused is, also and at the same time, granted us. Ay, that which we have rejected is poured upon us abundantly. For mercy and truth have met together, and righteousness and bliss have kissed one another!'” Let's jump into Part 2 of a Christmas Feast. May hope rise fresh in our hearts with holy defiance as we remember together the trajectory of our God-authored stories:  God has the first word.  And God has the last word.  This is good news, my friends.  Merry Christmas, Morgan

All the stories we tell borrow their power from the Great Story God is writing. – John Eldredge Friends, Isak Dinesen suggests God's plans run across the sea and the snowy mountain where man's eyes see no track.  What if it is true?  It is true, my friends.  Everything is going to be okay. God is drawing all of our stories toward the breathtaking restoration of all things.  Along the way, his bright Kingdom often breaks in through what seems at first only mundane and insignificant.  As his Spirit becomes the strength of our hearts and teaches us to feed on him as our portion forever, our Father readies us to love in ways previously impossible, becoming by day and decade vessels of a Kingdom outbreak in the lives of those around us. As we immerse ourselves in Advent and prepare for the wonder and beauty of Christmas, I invite you to join me for Part 1 of A Christmas Feast. Together, let us remember the beauty, cost, and largeness of the Tale that has woven our ordinary lives into its surprise, delight, and power. I think you're going to love it.  Merry Christmas, Morgan

From Hemingway to Dickens, from Nabokov to Twain, from Isak Dinesen to Graham Greene, many of the world's great writers were also great travel writers. Paul Theroux, arguably the most renowned living travel writer, has capped a fifty-year writing career with The Tao of Travel, a collection of travel stories – by himself and others. Join us for a trip around the world with the man who gave us The Great Railway Bazaar, The Old Patagonian Express, To the Ends of the Earth, and other classics of the genre.Support the show

In 1965, Bob Dylan sang, “She's got everything she needs; she's an artist; she don't look back.” About twenty years later, Gabriel Axel brilliantly dramatized this idea in Babette's Feast (1987). A film as perfect as a film can be, Babette's Feast treats the viewer to the pleasures of autotelic endeavors: things we do for their own sake because we enjoy them. Like last week's film, Big Night, this one welcomes us to a big table in which a chef feeds others as a work of art. Mike and Dan also talk about the characters' assumption that austerity is the key to Heaven and how the film treats this idea without mocking the characters or setting them up for a nasty surprise, as in The Witch. So pour another glass of Amontillado, sit back, and press play!

Memorias de África, el libro publicado en 1937 bajo el pseudónimo Isak Dinesen, ha llegado a ser considerado uno de los más peligrosamente racistas jamás escritos. Detrás de esta obra se esconde la fascinante vida de la baronesa Karen Blixen, la protagonista del nuevo episodio de GRANDES INFELICES, un podcast de Blackie Books presentado y dirigido por el escritor Javier Peña (autor de “Agnes” e “Infelices”). En el capítulo recorreremos lo que significaba para una europea regentar una granja de café en Kenia a principios del siglo XX y la difícil trayectoria de Blixen cuando, de vuelta a Dinamarca con casi 50 años, se convierta en escritora en un mundo machista.

Karen Blixen nació en Dinamarca en 1885 y murió en 1962. Utilizó el seudónimo de Isak Dinesen para firmar algunos de sus trabajos. Es la autora de 'Siete cuentos góticos', 'Cuentos de invierno', 'Vengadores angelicales', 'Sombras en la hierba' y 'Ehrengard'. 'Memorias de África' se publicó en 1937 y fue un éxito inmediato.

THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN and OUT OF AFRICA   This week: Two films released four years apart do as much to delineate Streep's meteoric rise to being one of the all-time great film actors as anything. FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN (1981) is an adaptation of John Fowles' post-modern 1969 novel, which addresses directly the construction and themes of the "Victorian Novel". In Karel Resz' film of legendary playwright Harold Pinter's screenplay, instead of historical fact checking within the narrative and three different endings, they opt for a meta-narrative of a film shoot romance mirroring the plot of a film-with-the-film called The French Lieutenant's Woman. It's an odd choice we chew on quite a bit. But how is Streep? To be fair, there is a lot going on here and she is playing a character playing a character in a near-parody of old school melodramas and her choices in that are choices made by the modern actress she is also playing. Head spinning. Her performance earned her an Oscar nomination but this is not the Streep we see four short years later. OUT OF AFRICA (1985), directed by Sydney Pollack from a script by Karl Luedtke adapted from the memoir by Isak Dinesen and two Dinesen biographies. It's the story of a wealthy Danish woman going to Africa to live on a coffee farm with her cheating husband. While there she meets individualist ivory hunter (Robert Redford, playing an Englishman with an American accent who embodies the white man's burden of protecting land they conquered from people just like them, much like Kevin Costner in Yellowstone) and falls in love. It's a classic sweeping epic (unfortunately not shot anamorphic as Pollack usually did) that charts ugly bouts of colonization. Streep and Redford do speak to that within the film, but it is generally while doing the things they fear more people will come and do (hunting, treating the natives like second class citizens, getting in fights with other white imperialists, driving big cars over the Savanna, etc). It's tough to take at points but the sweep, the romance, the music and the performances can make you squint enough to get a ton of value out of it as an old school Hollywood melodrama. In particular, Streep's performance. As in Sophie's Choice, she is clearly completely in control of her character and with full knowledge of how the camera captures her performance. She is nearly flawless. Pairing this with French Lieutenant's Woman was a brilliant idea to illustrate where and how someone makes the jump from good to great to GOAT. She did not win Best Actress this year because Hollywood was already tiring of her brilliant performances year after year, however. That perception would lead to Streep's turn to comedy later in the decade with the execrable She-Devil. Ken. Thomas and Andi will tell you all about both films. It's a must-listen for any fan of Streep.

The Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger, chapter 3, narrated by Isaac BirchallIn this chapter, Holden tells about his dorm, The Ossenburger Hall, which was named after a wealthy Pencey alumnus who made a fortune in the funeral business. After returning to his Dorm, Holden tries to read Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen while wearing his new violently red Hunting hat. He is interrupted by Ackley, less than likeable neighbour. Holden informs us that Ackley is extremely irritating, who has no sense of boundaries and never gets the hint that he isn't wanted around. He has disgusting hygiene and acts as though he is doing others a favour by hanging around.  He pesters Holden with questions about his roommate Stradlater, and only leaves Holden alone when Stradlater returns from the football game, mentioning that he has a date.Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today⁠⁠⁠VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠⁠⁠Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:⁠⁠⁠Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠⁠⁠Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*⁠⁠SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠Support the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Realizada en 1987, ‘El Festín de Babette', basada en una novela corta de lafamosa escritora Isak Dinesen, es una trama llena de ternura, de corazón, deenseñanza, y sobre todo, de comida. Un auténtico banquete visual y emociobal,dirigido por Gabriel Axel con una fabulosa Stephàne Audran, esta cinta espresentada muy amorosamente en este nuevo ‘Moviola'.Película: El Festín de Babette (1987) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

La mayoría de nosotros tiende a basar su vida en lo que hacemos, nuestras obras, no la gracia como un favor inmerecido. Nos retamos a nosotros mismos a "hacerlo mejor", convencidos de que el "éxito" depende de nosotros mismos, nuestra entrega, esfuerzo y disciplina. Es cierto, nos dicen, que hace falta algo de suerte, quizás incluso la ayuda de Dios o quien sea, pero como dice la canción del grupo de Liverpool con la que empezamos este programa,Echo & The Bunnymen "tienes que ser tu propio salvador" (Silver, 1984)... La gracia no es un complemento, algo que se añade a nuestras obras. Si como dice la cantautora estadounidense Sharon Van Etten, estamos "intentando salvarnos a nosotros mismos" (Save Yourself, 2020) desconocemos que la salvación es por la gracia de Dios, un regalo que recibimos libre e inmerecidamente. Stephen Stills descubrió que "Jesús dio su amor gratis" (Jesus Gave Love Away For Free). Así se llama la canción que grabó con el grupo que formó después de Buffalo Springfield y CSNY (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), Manassas en 1972. Uno de los secretos mejor guardados hoy, incluso entre los mismos cristianos, es que Jesús hace todo. No sólo somos salvos por gracia, sino que vivimos por gracia. Todos pensamos que si nos esforzamos, seremos recompensados. La historia de Jesús en la que hoy nos detenemos en nuestro viaje en nuestra Ruta por los 66 libros de la Biblia es la de los obreros de la viña (Mateo 20:1-16). Nos enseña que Dios trata con nosotros sobre la base de la gracia, no en consideración a nuestros méritos o falta de ellos. Cada jornalero recibe el salario completo del día, independientemente del tiempo que ha trabajado. Ya que igual que no podemos ganar nuestra salvación, sino recibirla como un regalo, tampoco podemos ganar las bendiciones de Dios, sino recibirlas como un regalo por medio de Jesucristo. Esta parábola nos enseña que el Reino de Dios no se basa en los méritos, sino en la gracia. Dios no nos debe nada. El no nos necesita. Somos nosotros los que le necesitamos a Él. Una de las películas que mejor ilustra la gracia de Dios es el film danés "El festín de Babette" (1988). Basado en un cuento de Isak Dinesen, el seudónimo de la autora de "Memorias de Africa", Karen Blixen, se desarrolla originalmente en un ambiente pietista luterano de Noruega. El director Gabriel Axel la traslada a la región danesa de Jutlandia, Escuchamos escenas de la película, comentadas por José de Segovia con la banda sonora original, para descubrir con el personaje del general Lowenhielm que: "el hombre en su debilidad y miopía cree que tiene que tomar decisiones en la vida; temblamos ante las opciones; y después de haber elegido, tememos habernos equivocado; pero cuando se nos abren los ojos, descubrimos que la gracia de Dios es infinita; sólo tenemos que esperarla con confianza y recibirla con gratitud". Si la gracia de Dios no nos sorprende es porque no creemos realmente que seamos tan malos. "El tigre de Galés", Tom Jones, se pregunta ahora al comienzo su álbum de "Alabanza y culpa" (2010), "¿Qué hay de bueno en mí?". El clásico del góspel afroamericano que hizo Clara Ward en 1951 y popularizó Mahalia Jackson, "¿Cómo lo superé?" (How I Got Over), lo versiona ahora en 2018, una banda británica de rock alternativo llamada Reef. Nos dice que es "mirando a Jesús, que murió por mí, sangró y sufrió, colgado en el Calvario". Acabamos el programa con el conmovedor tema de Bob Dylan, "¿Qué puedo hacer por ti?" (What Can I Do For You?) de su álbum "Salvado", contando la historia que ha revelado ahora el baterista Jim Kelter a la revista inglesa Mojo de cómo dejó el estudio de grabación, después de trabajar con los Beatles, para seguir al actual Premio Nobel de Literatura en su gira como "cristiano nacido de nuevo". Es el asombro de la gracia cuando uno se da cuenta que si Cristo ha "dado su vida por mí, ¿qué puedo hacer yo" por Él? En nuestra próxima parada seguiremos considerando este capítulo 20 de la Buena Noticia según Mateo...

How people traveled, and how people wrote about travel, changed in the interwar years. Novel technologies eased travel conditions, breeding new iterations of the colonizing gaze. The sense that another war was coming lent urgency and anxiety to the search for new places and "authentic" experiences. In Interwar Itineraries: Authenticity in Anglophone and French Travel Writing (Amherst College Press, 2022), Emily O. Wittman identifies a diverse group of writers from two languages who embarked on such quests. For these writers, authenticity was achieved through rugged adventure abroad to economically poorer destinations. Using translation theory and new approaches in travel studies and global modernisms, Wittman links and complicates the symbolic and rhetorical strategies of writers including André Gide, Ernest Hemingway, Michel Leiris, Isak Dinesen, Beryl Markham, among others, that offer insight into the high ethical stakes of travel and allow us to see in new ways how models of the authentic self are built and maintained through asymmetries of encounter.

Edurne Baz revisita la vida y el legado literario de la escritora danesa, autora de inmortales títulos como 'Memorias de África'. Puede que haya muchas personas que no han leído Memorias de África. Pero nos atrevemos a asegurar que hay muy pocas que no hayan visto la película del mismo título o disfrutado con su inolvidable banda sonora. Hoy, en Vivir para contarlas, revisitamos la historia de "la leona", autora de uno de los más memorables arranques de la historia de la literatura: «Yo tenía una granja en África, al pie de las colinas de Ngong…".

TING AT SE I NAIROBI I den seneste episode talte jeg med Shane og Monica i Nairobi om alt det fantastiske, der er at opleve rundt omkring i Kenya. Men der er også en masse at opleve i hovedstaden. KAREN BLIXEN MUSEUM Vores berømte danske forfatter, Karen Blixen havde sin afrikanske farm i den by, der i dag også hedder Karen i udkanten af Nairobi. I huset, hvor hun boede med sin mand, Baron ved foden af Ngong Hills, er der i dag et museum, som bestemt er værd et besøg. Under navnet Isak Dinesen udgav hun bogen, Den afrikanske farm om de sytten år hun boede på farmen i Kenya. Det er hendes poetiske hyldest til naturen, dyrelivet og ikke mindst de indfødte, for hvem hun blev leder, lærer, læge og dommer. Og så er det naturligvis historien om mødet med hendes store kærlighed, Denys Finch Hatton. Bogen blev en succes i det meste af verden og endnu mere kendt efter filmen ”Out of Africa”, som delvist er optaget her. DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust er et af de største og mest succesrige redningscentre for forældreløse elefanter i verden. De har med succes passet 282 elefanter, og her kan du også ”adoptere” en elefantunge. NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK Nairobi National Park ligger få minutter fra byens centrum. Du kan opleve næsehorn, zebraer, giraffer, bavianer, gnuer og mange andre dyr med byens skyline i baggrunden. BOMAS OF KENYA Bombas of Kenya er en kulturel landsby, der repræsenterer de 42 stammer i Kenya. Hvis du vil lære noget om landets etniske stammer og historie, er dette en tur, du ikke bør gå glip af. Du kommer også til at lære om hver stammes tøj, danse og økonomiske aktiviteter. Du kan også prøve forskellige kenyanske retter på Utamaduni Restaurant. THE GIRAFFE CENTRE The Giraffe Centre drives af en kenyansk non-profit-organisation, African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, hvis hovedformål er at uddanne kenyanske børn om deres miljø og vilde dyr. De giver også besøgende og mulighed for at komme i nærkontakt med verdens højeste dyr. Jeg tog dertil og talte med guiden Daniel Mutua, som kunne fortælle mig en masse om dette majestætiske dyr. Ved indgangen fik jeg nogle foderpiller lavet af tørt græs, melasse og majs i en halv kokosnødskal, og går på platformen, hvor jeg kunne fodre girafferne. Disse er blot snacks til girafferne, hvis hovedføde er græs, blade og vand. Kenya har tre underarter af giraffer: Masai, Rothchild og Reticulated, og i slutningen af ​​1970'erne var der kun omkring 130 Rothchild-giraffer tilbage på græsarealerne i Østafrika. African Fund for Endangered Wildlife blev grundlagt i 1979 af den afdøde Jock Leslie-Melville, en kenyansk statsborger af britisk afstamning, og hans amerikanskfødte kone, Betty Leslie-Melville. De startede girafcentret efter at have opdaget den triste situation. Men efter centrets indsats er der i dag over 300 Rothschild-giraffer, som er sikre og yngler godt i kenyanske parker. Tolv af dem er her i girafcentret. Forskellen på de tre arter er bemærkelsesværdig på kropspletter og dyrenes levesteder. Hver giraf har en anden personlighed ligesom mennesker lige fra blid, venlig, legende og meget mere. I centrum kender de dem ved navn og ved deres karakterer. Inde i The Giraffe Centre er der et luksushotel, der hedder Giraffe Manor. Centrets giraffer kigger ofte forbi og stikke deres lange halse ind i vinduet i håbet om at få en snack, før de trækker sig tilbage i naturen. BESØG BYENS HØJESTE BYGNING På en klar dag kan man se Mount Kenya og Kilimanjaro fra taget af den højeste bygning i byen. The KICC (Kenyatta International Convention Centre) Tower er et ikon og et vartegn for Kenya. Det er et af de førende konferencecentre i Østafrika. Jeg tog elevatoren til toppen, og jeg fik en fantastisk udsigt over byen. Det var lidt overskyet, så jeg kunne desværre ikke se de to højeste bjerge i Afrika, men jeg så stadig en masse. Jeg talte med to af de fire personer, som jeg mødte på tårnet, og vi fik en god snak om det gode og dårlige ved at bo i Kenya. GODE RÅD OM SAFARI-TURE Vælg en god bil: Den type køretøj, du vælger, er meget vigtig. Hvis du er i de normale 4-hjulstrukne køretøjer, vil din oplevelse være normal. Hvis du vil have en mere spektakulær oplevelse, bør du gå efter en højere akselafstand og mere vinduesplads. Med dette vil du have en 360 graders udsigt. Du kommer til at køre i mange timer om dagen, og et mere komfortabelt køretøj vil være en god investering. Vælg en god pakke: Gå efter en pakke, hvor du kan nyde en naturen så meget som muligt. Brug tid på research og vær omhyggelig med at vælge. Din guide og den virksomhed, du vælger, har stor indflydelse på din samlede oplevelse. Når det kommer til den store migration i sensommeren, så vær forberedt på at betale en smule mere. Det vil være en uforglemmelig oplevelse. GAME DRIVE I MASAI MARA Så er det tid til den første game drive i Masai Mara – et af de steder i Afrika og verden med den højeste mulighed for at opleve få gode billeder af de vilde dyr. Vi så løver, elefanter, giraffer, zebraer og en masse forskellige gazellearter. To katte, der kan være lidt svære at skelne fra hinanden, er geparder og leoparder. Desværre lykkedes det mig ikke at se leoparderne (som er en af The Big Five), men vi så mange geparder. Næsehornet er et andet dyr, der også er en del af ”de fem store”, som man også skal være lidt heldig for at få øje på. Masai Mara deler sin grænse mod syd med Serengeti i Tanzania og er et enormt område på 1.510 km2, så det er godt at have en erfaren chauffør, som vi har i Dennis. Han er i konstant radiokontakt med de andre chauffører, og de giver hinanden tips om, hvor dyrene er. VORES MØDE MED ET NÆSEHORN Jeg har været på safari før og aldrig stødt på et næsehorn. Men pludselig fik Dennis øje på en. Den står alene og græsser på savannen tæt på et vandhul uden nogen omkring sig. Vi var også den eneste bil der, og for at være ærlig tror jeg, at det var så sjældent, at Dennis ikke gik direkte på radioen for at fortælle det til de andre chauffører. I stedet kørte vi langsomt på en cirkel omkring ham. Ikke for tæt på – jeg tænker omkring 30-40 meter fra ham, og vi rejste os allesammen for at begynde at tage billeder. Jeg besluttede mig for at optage en video – og det er jeg glad for, at jeg gjorde, for det der skete herefter, var så utroligt, og jeg er glad for, at jeg fangede det på film. Næsehornet fik øje på os og var ikke tilfreds med at få sin stilletid afbrudt, så han kom buldrende imod os. Fuld fart direkte mod os. Her er videoen. Heldigvis så Dennis det, og han kørte videre, inden næsehornet smadrede ind i siden af ​​bilen. Og ifølge Dennis ville han have gjort det. Det ville have lavet et stort hul i siden af ​​bilen og ville have været livsfarligt for de personer, der sad på den side af bussen. Dennis fortalte mig også, at han aldrig havde oplevet noget lignende i sine mange år med game-drives her i The Mara. DISCLAIMER Turen til Masai Mara er gjort mulig med støtte fra Scenery Adventures. Du kan finde alle deres forskellige pakker og priser på deres hjemmeside. Hvis du vil have et eventyr med Monica og hendes team, kan du booke og betale online, og de tager sig af dig helt fra lufthavnen og tilbage. De kan endda hjælpe dig med at ordne dit visum til Kenya. I den næste skal vi flyve i luftballon højt over savannen, mens solen står op. Jeg hedder Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.   Se billeder og video på Radiovagabond.dk/276-kenya

Cuento de dos viejos caballeros, de Isak Dinesen.

Two-Time Palme d'Or and Academy Award-Winning Director, Bille August discusses with Jan Price his new film, “The Pact” – currently playing in select L.A. and N.Y. theaters! It's 1948 - and sixty-three-year-old OUT OF AFRICA author Karen Blixen (pen name: Isak Dinesen) is a lonely literary sensation devastated by syphilis and mourning her lost love until she meets talented thirty-year-old poet Thorkild Bjørnvig. She offers him a Faustian bargain and promises him stardom if he obeys her unconditionally. As her demands become more and more pernicious, Thorkild must choose between Blixen's promise of fame or his wife and young son. From director Bille August (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) comes this sterling adaptation of Bjørnvig's bestselling memoir.

Viajamos a mediados de los años 80 para vivir, como si fuera un wéstern, paseándonos por las calles de Nidocuervo, que es donde llegan los dos grandes protagonistas de la novela que ha ganado el Premio Café Gijón. Ellos son un corredor de seguros, jubilado, y una traductora que solo quiere disfrutar de su hijo Abel. Aparentemente a eso se dedican. Pero el pasado reaparece para ambos. Es así, con este material, con el que Alexis Ravelo ha escrito la novela Los nombres prestados, que publica Siruela. Una historia apasionante donde las sorpresas nos esperan a la vuelta de cada página. También buscamos los orígenes de este invento maravilloso, nacido de la forma más antigua de comunicación, hablar y escuchar, que se llama radio. ¿Cómo fueron las primeras emisiones, de 1925? Aquí, Unión Radio es un libro escrito por Ángeles Afuera, editado por Cátedra, que es un acto de amor a la radio, a aquella radio incipiente, de pocos medios técnicos... pero que ya llevaba dentro ese germen de ser moderna, de conectar con los oyentes ofreciéndole historias que lo hechizaran.Y en nuestra sección de Audiolibros, abrimos las páginas de Al faro, una de las obras más conocidas de Virginia Woolf, que otra vez está de moda. Nunca hay que dejar de leer a los clásicos, que tanto nos enseñan. Da igual las veces que los leamos. Siempre esconden un mensaje nuevo para nosotros. Y hablando de clásicos, hoy nuestra portada no es para un autor vivo, sino para un autor muerto. Bueno, muerto, entre comillas. Porque da la impresión de que James Joyce ha resucitado. O que nunca se ha ido. Y que nunca se irá del todo, mientras que sigamos leyendo su Ulises, que ha cumplido 100 años.En cine, la película El pacto nos permite acercarnos a la vida de Isak Dinesen, la autora de Memorias de África.

La gracia es ilimitada Los seres humanos son frágiles y tontos. Se nos ha dicho que la gracia se encuentra en el universo. Pero en nuestra necedad humana y nuestra miopía imaginamos que la gracia divina es finita, y por eso temblamos. Pero llega el momento en que nuestros ojos se abren y vemos que la gracia es infinita. La gracia no nos exige nada más que esperarlo con confianza y reconocerlo con gratitud. La gracia no impone condiciones y no nos señala a ninguno en particular. La gracia nos lleva a todos a su seno y proclama una amnistía general. (Isak Dinesen)

This month's theme, "Stories We Grew up with," expands our appreciation of who we have become due to the stories we have been told and the ones we have told ourselves growing up. We look at how these stories have impacted our thoughts, our dreams; ultimately, I believe everyone has a story and is a story. Author Richard Kearney says in his book On Stories, "telling stories is as basic to human beings as eating. More so, in fact, for a while, food makes us live; stories are what make our lives worth living." Isak Dinesen says, “To be a person is to have a story to tell. —" Author David Denborough, Ph.D. writes, “Who we are and what we do are influenced by the stories that we tell ourselves. There are many different events in our lives, but only some of them get formed into the storylines of our identities. Whatever storyline we have about our lives makes a difference in who we are and how we act.”[1] Be inspired by listening to Ashwani Jain answer the question, what story do you tell yourself when the White House Calls?

The greatest secret to mastering the art of cooking? It's' not the recipes, but in using the freshest ingredients that are indigenous to the land. In France, this means buying locally grown, in-season fruits and vegetables from the nearest farmer's market. This is a long-held practice in Gascony, a rural province of southwestern France where "the good dirt" is prized and protected for the preservation of its culinary heritage.  The culture of food in Gascony has its own unique flavors and methods. Kate has been collecting recipes for years, gathered from friends and neighbors and even from knocking on the doors of strangers to learn how to cook something new. Kate teaches methods such as oven roasting, braising, emulsifying sauces, and has recently been featured on a "Cooking with Wine" series streaming on Somm TV. But it doesn't stop there, Kate also intertwines these culinary lessons with in-person road trips in France and Spain.  Kate masterfully wears multiple hats in her personal life and profession. She is a cook, teacher, mentor, and wonderful storyteller. In “A Culinary Journey in Gascony: Recipes and Stories from My French Canal Boat'," she tells the story of how she first discovered the region while floating slowly down the Canal de Garonne, and subsequently purchased the 18th-century farmhouse in the area which has been her home and culinary inspiration for the past thirty years.  Interested in learning more about Kate and her personal story?

Its an endearing film about Babette, a […] The post Babette’s Feast with Chef Lasse Sorensen appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

One tear, two tear, sad tear, happy tear! Why do we cry sometimes at the most unexpected and unwanted moments -- if only we could control it? Letting those precious tears come out bonds us as sisters and can shine a light on things that are unknowingly building deep inside us. Shannon and Julie open up about some of their most embarrassing crying moments, while also exploring there's more going on than what meets the eye. “The cure for anything is salt water — sweat, tears, or the sea.” — Isak Dinesen

La sua vicenda nel Continente Nero ha ispirato un film di grande successo, La Mia Africa di Sydney Pollak, ma la vita di Karen Blixen non è solo questa. Scrittrice e pittrice danese, raggiunse il successo pubblicando un libro di racconti, Sette Storie Gotiche, con lo pseudonimo di Isak Dinesen. Proprio la sua scelta di usare pseudonimi alimentò nella critica i sospetti che non tutto venisse scritto da lei, ma la sua abilità di descrivere le sue storie con chiarezza e con uno stile unico, ne fa una delle artiste più amate del nostro tempo, tanto che anche Orson Welles e altri registi di Hollywood trassero ispirazione dai suoi racconti.Antonella Ferrera intervista Luca Scarlini, che oltre ad occuparsi di drammaturgia contemporanea e letteratura comparata, ha realizzato un adattamento di uno dei racconti più significativi di Karen Blixen, Tempeste.La voce di Karen Blixen è quella di Emanuela Rossi

In this conversation writer Vanessa Rosales interviews one of the women who has most inspired and shaped her own work, The New Yorker Style Critic, writer and biographer Judith Thurman.They talk about the ways in which Thurman writes, the decade-long process of writing Colette's biography, the ways in which she has approached the art of producing portraits of other characters such as Colette, Isak Dinesen, Yves Saint Laurent, Rei Kawakubo, Coco Chanel, among others. They talk about Elena Ferrante's singular and fierce female voice, not without complicating the ideas of womanhood and being female that are also a part of today's cultural subtexts. They discuss fashion criticism, the way it's changed and what it means to look at the subject from a cultural critique perspective. One of the most beautiful questions Thurman's work has articulated focuses on what it means to become a woman and what does it mean to become an individual. Her writing is a source of luminosity.

Nhân một cuộc phỏng vấn sau sự kiện công bố giải Nobel Văn chương năm 1954, Ernest Hemingway từng nói về Isak Dinesen (dù hai người chưa từng gặp gỡ) như thế này: “Hôm nay, tôi cũng sẽ hạnh phúc – hạnh phúc hơn nữa – nếu giải thưởng ấy được trao cho nhà văn nữ xuất sắc Isak Dinesen”. Châu Phi nghìn trùng – tác phẩm ra đời từ những trải nghiệm cá nhân của một con người, nhưng lại mở cho chúng ta cánh cửa tới châu Phi rộng lớn: Có thiên nhiên hoang dã, khoáng đạt, trao tặng nhiều song lấy đi cũng cực kì tàn nhẫn; có con người “nguyên sơ” lắm lúc đến mức khôi hài và cũng thật đáng yêu. Qua cuốn hồi ức, châu Phi hiện lên lạ lùng trong mối tương giao giữa cái bản địa và thực dân da trắng, từ góc nhìn khác biệt, không khinh khi, xa cách mà ẩn chứa tình yêu.

What is a reader's dream cookbook? One that has delicious recipes but also a wealth of literary references to inspire your next read? It turns out these books exist! With her Little Library series of cookbooks Kate Young has carved out a particular niche intertwining her love of food with the books that have inspired her and shaped her life.

On the home page of Salt Water's website, findyourharbor.com, there is a quote from Isak Dinesen which reads, 'The cure for everything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.' It goes on to explain these each in more detail. Sweat represents 'the healing of your body after the death of a beloved.' Tears represent 'living with unbearable loss.' Lastly, the sea represents 'moving forward into the life you create in the wake of loss.' Salt Water's founder, Margo, lost her 21 year old son, Jimmy, to cancer in 2014. Like all of us, she found herself struggling to continue on through the grief. She turned to the internet to try to find support for herself and her family. She tried many different things, but found that nothing really 'fit' for her. Some felt too religious and others lacked any hope or spirituality at all. Within a year of Jimmy's death, Margo suffered another great loss when her 92 year old mother died. That is when she really learned what a hierarchy people place on grief. Since her mother lived a long life, people just didn't offer as much sympathy for her in this fresh grief. They didn't really individualize the loss at all and didn't take into account all that Margo had been going through.  This is when Margo had a true revelation. You cannot put another person's experience with grief into a box and treat it the same as others in 'their' category. You cannot judge your own grief as worse or better than someone else's. The loss of a sibling should not be considered 'worse' than the loss of a grandparent or 'better' than the loss of a child. They are absolutely unique to each individual. In addition, not all people who lose children are the same. Not all widows or widowers are the same. Not all people who lose their parents, siblings or even dear pets are the same. It was then that Margo decided to create an online organization, Salt Water (www.findyourharbor.com), so all people suffering loss had a safe place to come and not feel judged. In Salt Water, all grieving people have a home. She and her contributors offer hope and help to every mourner who enters the waters of their harbor.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Lecture #9 (Chapter 3 - Part 1) Detailed Book Analysis and In-Depth Discussion. In this lecture we are beginning our analysis, discussion and exploration of Chapter 3 of J.D. Salinger’s famed and beloved masterpiece, The Catcher in the Rye. In this discussion we have the opportunity to learn about Ossenburger, a successful alumni who donated to Pencey Prep and because of his significant donation, Holden’s dorms were named after him. We examine this character and Holden’s judgment and opinion of him through Holden’s subjective perspective and words. Additionally, we discuss why Holden may have a particular fondness for the book, Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen. Lastly, we continue with the analysis of Holden Caulfield as a character and in the ways he is similar to many of us. The Catcher in The Rye, like many others, is one of my favorite novels, and by far my favorite coming of age novel. We get the opportunity to analyze Holden Caulfield, explore his psychology, his experiences, and his unique hero’s journey which then allows us to understand ourselves even better. Throughout the lecture I will try to show similarities between what Holden is going through and what we go through in our lives through a detailed analysis of the story, recounting numerous personal anecdotes, and mentioning life experiences that we all share and can relate to. Tune in or feel free to watch the lecture series on YouTube as well. Youtube: https://youtu.be/nlu2e6f0x9c Thank you! I hope you enjoy! :)

We’re excited to launch a short series of episodes on the topic of hospitality, beginning with a discussion of Babette’s Feast, the moving novella (and its film adaptation) by Isak Dinesen. What can Babette’s Feast teach us about the nature of grace in hospitality, and the giving of oneself? How do we apply this to how we show hospitality to our own families?

On this episode, we discuss the fifty-eighth Best Picture Winner: “OUT OF AFRICA.”"Out of Africa" is based loosely on the autobiographical book "Out of Africa" written by Isak Dinesen (the pseudonym of Danish author Karen Blixen), which was published in 1937, with additional material from Dinesen's book "Shadows on the Grass" and other sources. The story covers the following:  Initially set on being a dairy farmer, the aristocratic Karen Blixen travels to Africa to join her husband, Bror, who instead spends their money on a coffee plantation. After discovering Bror is unfaithful, Karen develops feelings for hunter Denys, but realizes he prefers a simplistic lifestyle compared to her upper class background. The two continue on until a series of events force Karen to choose between her love and personal growth. Directed by Sydney Pollack, the film stars Meryl Streep as Karen, Robert Redford as Denys, and Klaus Maria Brandauer as Bror.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. You can reach anyone here at TheEnvelopePodcast.com – Just go there to email us, check our bios, and keep up with the latest episode.

Today, almost 90 percent of the world’s population is hooked on coffee or its most addictive component, caffeine. But 500 years ago, hardly anyone drank it, and the story of how coffee came to grace so many breakfast tables, office kitchens, and factory breakrooms speaks volumes about the very unequal world we live in. Our guest this week is Augustine Sedgewick, whose new book, Coffeeland: One Man's Dark Empire and the Making of Our Favorite Drug, uses the global history of the Hill family, a coffee dynasty in El Salvador, to unravel how societies, rural and urban alike, were recast in the wake of the Industrial Revolution. Ultimately, that restructuring led to many of the inequalities we still see today between the global North that drinks coffee and the global South that farms it.Go beyond the episode:Augustine Sedgewick’s Coffeeland: One Man's Dark Empire and the Making of Our Favorite DrugRead his recent essay in The Wall Street Journal, “How Coffee Became a Modern Necessity”Check out the recent documentary Black Gold, about the trading practices of multinational coffee companiesCommonplace Book, Celebrity Coffee Fan Edition:“Without my morning coffee, I’m just like a dried-up piece of goat”—J.

It excites cheerfulness without intoxication; and the pleasing flow of spirits which it occasions ... is never followed by sadness, languor or debility.”—Benjamin Franklin“Coffee, according to the women of Denmark, is to the body what the Word of the Lord is to the soul.”—Isak Dinesen“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”—Albert CamusTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

“You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.” ― Isak Dinesen, Out Of Africa. Dean and Prayeri Harrison, founders of Out Of Africa wildlife park in Camp Verde, AZ are examples of what it means to be truly alive. There is truly something unique and refreshing about the way they approach this life. The idea that we live in world dictated by the laws of nature and not of man is evident in how they interact with all the animals on site. It's truly fascinating and something that must been seen and experienced to believe the connection they have with the animals. We had the great joy of experiencing the VIP - Behind the scenes tour guided by Dean himself. It’s truly the best way to get the full experience of the park. We recorded over 3 hours of content on site but due to audio quality and other issues were limited in what we could bring to the episode. Out of Africa is not another zoo where you simply stroll around the park and stare at animals in their habitats rather its a place where you can truly interact and experience the animals. Located an hour north of the Phoenix valley its a quick trip and an experience that you will remember for your lifetime. Make sure to visit and say hi to our friend Pilgrim the Giraffe. If he likes you as much as he did Rob he may just give you a sloppy wet kiss. Special Guest: Dean Harrison.

We all know everyone has a story. However, I like to say everyone is a story. This month we are taking a closer look at our personal stories and the stories of those who have supported our becoming more. And, we are going to recognize the power of the stories that we tell ourselves. Author Richard Kearney says in his book On Stories “Telling stories is as basic to human beings as eating. More so, in fact, for while food makes us live, stories are what make our lives worth living.” Isak Dinesen says, “To be a person is to have a story to tell. —" Author  David Denborough, Ph.D., writes  “Who we are and what we do are influenced by the stories that we tell ourselves…There are many different events in our lives, but only some of them get formed into the storylines of our identities. Whatever storyline we have about our lives makes a difference in who we are and how we act.”[1] Through a story, we can pretend to be somebody else or go somewhere else, without taking on the risks or expense ourselves. We can even do the impossible, like travel through time or explore the universe. Kids play pretend from a very young age, and through various kinds of stories, we never really stop. The stories we love to hear, read, and watch and the ones we tell ourselves, shape our lives. These stories shape how we interact with others, and even how they interact with us. They shape how we feel about ourselves and what we think we’re capable of. [1] https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-power-of-our-personal-stories/ This week do I have a treat for you! My guests today, Naomi and Asa Nero, sister, and brother are delightful!

Memorias de África (fragmentos).Calidad literaria superlativa. Escrita con distinción y estilo exquisito, por Karen Christentze Dinesen, danesa, más conocida como Isak Dinesen (1885–1962).Los nativos la apodaban: «la hermana leona» y se ganó su afecto, por su coraje, su buena puntería y su habilidad como cazadora. De carácter biográfico, Memorias de África (1937), catapultó a Dinesen, a la fama mundial. Inspirando una adaptación, en la ya clásica película homónima, protagonizada por Meryl Streep y Robert Redford.De estilo deliberadamente anticuado, sus narraciones se ciernen entre la ilusión y el romanticismo, logrando expresar: “un espíritu que ya no existe en los tiempos modernos”. Su cuento más famoso, "El Festín de Babette", sobre una cocinera que gasta todo el premio de la lotería, para preparar una comida final, fue reproducido en una película, ganadora del Óscar a la Mejor película extranjera de 1988.Te puedo asegurar una sola cosa, vas a sentir los colores de África… en el alma.https://www.spreaker.com/show/caminata-literariahttps://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDEyMTIwMy9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkhttps://open.spotify.com/show/1SH2bJevsQFNHRX6TCChS0?si=FyBNN6h_TpOyCNlX4x8KJwhttps://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/caminata-literaria/id1486701220

We can even do the impossible, like travel through time or explore the universe. Kids play pretend from a very young age, and through various kinds of stories, we never really stop. The stories we love to hear, read, and watch and the ones we tell ourselves, shape our lives. These stories shape how we interact with others, and even how they interact with us. They shape how we feel about ourselves and what we think we’re capable of. Beyond just speculation about what might happen, we use stories to answer the great unanswerable questions. Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? What does it mean to be human? Am I enough? Stories bring order and meaning to the chaos and randomness of life. BECOMING, by Michelle Obama is the perfect testimony that life is a process, not an event; a journey, not a destination. Emma Allen and Juanita Temple discuss the book from the perspective of the impact of the stories Michelle lived, heard, and told during her journey of becoming. It's a conversation that becomes a keepsake of the heart. [1] https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-power-of-our-personal-stories/

They shape how we feel about ourselves and what we think we’re capable of. When I was very young, I experienced stories that started with once upon a time and ended with happily ever after. A look in my rearview mirror reminds me of occasions when mother and daddy made up stories with specific messages intended to modify something undesirable in my behavior. When I learned to read and could choose my own books, as an only child, I loved stories where the central character not only had exciting adventures but also had “special” friends with whom to share them. Innocently wrapped in my early story choices were hints of my current love of adventure and mystery and sharing. Stories shape the decisions we make, everything from the partners we pick to the activities we participate in. If we spin a story that we’re not good enough, we just might pick a partner who doesn’t treat us very well. If we spin a story that we’re stupid, we might not submit our resume for the job we’ve always wanted because well, we won’t get it, anyway. Join Denise Fayne as she takes us through a few of the intergenerational stories she grew up with, grew into, and ran from that have helped make her who she is today. We had fun around the Frankly Speaking virtual, global, table. [1] https://psychcentral.com/blog/the-power-of-our-personal-stories/

A family wedding in Kenya inspires Ken to start reading about Africa-and thinking about the book collections that could be made up of works about this vast and varied continent. From the early exploration narratives of the 1700's to the novels of Ernest Hemingway and Isak Dinesen, the possibilities are almost as diverse as Africa is.

The full arc of our path through Lent and our final arrival at the Resurrection lie hidden within Isak Dinesen’s short story “Babette’s Feast,” upon which the Oscar-winning film was based. The story takes place in a Norwegian coastal village where two spinster sisters, Martine and Philippa, spend their days in plentiful prayer, generous good works, and ascetic living.

Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom television show during the 1970s inspired so many people I have interviewed, including myself, to fall in love with wildlife. If you aren’t familiar with this show, (maybe you are too young!) it was a show bringing adventure, exotic animals, and different cultures into our American living rooms every week. Marlin Perkins, a zoologist, and his partner, Jim Fowler, also a zoologist, would travel the world to educate us about an exotic animal in a faraway land. (Often, I believe, Jim was usually the one to risk life and limb to get close to some dangerous animal). This show was my gateway “drug” show to reading Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen, watch Born Free over and over and learning to sketch leopards and elephants in great detail.   Our podcast guest May 15th, Dr. Andrew Stein, an Assistant Professor at Landmark College, was also influenced by Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom and other wildlife documentaries growing up in central Massachusetts. He didn’t believe he would ever have the chance to visit places in Africa to see big cats, elephants and more. That all changed when entered the School of Field Studies and was able to travel to Kenya. It was in Kenya where he began to see a confluence of his interests with culture, wildlife, and conservation.   Now Dr. Stein is one of the leading experts in leopard conservation.

In Alternative Kinships: Economy and Family in Russian Modernism (Northern Illinois University Press, 2017), Jacob Emery presents literary texts as intersections of aesthetic, social, and economic phenomena. Drawing particular attention to the texts that emerge under the influence of burgeoning Soviet ideology, Jacob Emery discusses aesthetic developments and repercussions caused and initiated by the programs aimed at the redefinition of economy and society. The spheres of family and economy appear to not only absorb changes and transformations instigated by the strengthening of communist rhetoric, but also to exercise influences on the formation and on the development of Soviet literature, reshaping the aesthetic continuum and revealing the collision of paradigms and epistemes. While focusing on the texts that illuminate the peculiarities of Russian Modernism (Andrei Bely’s Petersburg, Yuri Olesha’s Envy), Alternative Kinships also includes a detailed discussion of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables, Miroslav Krleza’s The Return of Filip Latinovicz, and Isak Dinesen’s stories. This comparative attempt discloses intricate interconnections not only between literatures and cultures but between ideologies and political programs as well. Jacob Emery points out, “Like the authors of Russian modernism, Hawthorne, Krlea, and Dinesen are concerned with alternative kinships that take shape at a moment of crisis in the history of hereditary castes: the rise of Jeffersonian democracy, the fall of the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy, and, in Dinesen’s historical fiction, a preoccupation with inheritance mechanisms in the period just before and after the French Revolution “(10-11). Literature appears to respond to political developments, which bring forth crucial shifts, redefining the areas of the familiar and of the conventional. As Alternative Kinships demonstrates, Soviet literature offers an array of intriguing possibilities for reshaping family relationships. In addition, these experiments are inextricably connected with the Soviet economic endeavors. One of the fascinating family experiments that Jacob Emery extensively comments on is “milk kinship,” which, under the Soviet regime,” aimed to replac[e] traditional ideas of kinship” (113). State-run milk banks, Emery argues, is “the metaphor of a transcendental mother supplying a universal family” (115). Russian modernism generates a number of scenarios, portraying not only the redefinition of social and economic relations but also the transformation of the individual: alternative kinships call for New Men and Women. Alongside family relationships, which respond to economic, political, ideological modifications, Alternative Kinships also touches upon hereditary memory: family is inseparable from the memory that reveals itself in multiple ways. Aesthetic and literary interconnections that Jacob Emery outlines through the analysis of gothic and modernist texts initiate a conversation about cultural memory: literary texts demonstrate the interconnectedness of the aesthetics, history, society, and the individual. Literature as a complex construct that incorporates a number of components and fragments, which establish a variety of relationships, can be illustrated with the image of mirror, which is closely analyzed in Alternative Kinships. Mirror is actively employed to show family relationships and to reveal the potential of a literary text to absorb and to respond to the environment. Revealing the dynamics of family and economy relationships across times and cultures, Alternative Kinships contributes to the discussion of international modernism(s), Learn more about your ad choices.

You might know us as the lit tribe, but if there's one thing besides books that all Andrews love, it's a good movie. So when you combine our two passions, books and movies, you get....a lot of opinions. This time on BiblioFiles, we decided to have a little fun with some lite conversation about movie adaptations. What must a director do or not do in order to pass muster? When does a director do violence to a book? Is that possible? You'll want to grab some popcorn for this one!Referenced Works:-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, directed by Simon Langton (1995), directed by Joe Wright (2005)-The Last of the Mochicans by James Fenimore Cooper, directed by Michael Mann (1992)-"Babette's Feast" by Isak Dinesen, directed by Gabriel Axel (1987)-The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, directed by Mark Osbourne (2015)-The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo, directed by Sam Fell and Robert Stevenhagen (2008)-Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe-Noah, directed by Darren Aronofsky (2014)-Paradise Lost John Milton-The Hobbit and The Lord of the RIngs by J.R.R.

When Clara Dollman comes to meet our heroes off the coast of Norderney on October 21, it all kicks off. Carruthers has to make the cabin fit for a lady, Davies gets hot under the collar and there’s something fishy about the library of sailing books on board. We discuss the best books to have on a small boat, the history of Norderney, what makes a cabin woman-friendly, Edwardian cocoa, and how Childers has got his tide tables terribly terribly wrong. We then drift off into a long diversion about the popularity of 1970s TV series ‘The Onedin Line’ in Romania. Hopefully, we’ll be back on course in time to discuss the row to Memmert in the next podcast. Lloyd notDavies dives straight in by announcing he’s going on a sailing course (00:52), but what books might he have on board any boat he skippers? (05:11); Davies favours E. F. Knight (05:58), Cowper (09:29) and Macmullen (10:44); we list the top 25 books that one might except to find on a cruising saloon bookshelf (12:38); a brief discussion of George Crowninshield Jnr and the birth of small boat cruising culture (14:37). Tim notCarruthers gets very cross about Childers’s frankly cavalier disregard for tides and tide tables (16:55); he cites an article in Cruising World by Alistair Buchan proving that the events of October 21 are impossible to re-enact (18:09); there are consequences, too, for October 22 and the plausibility of the row to Memmert (22:52). Lloyd notDavies offers brief notes on Norderney (25:58); we discover that the island is practically British, thanks to Hanoverian connections (27:14); the case is made to put Isak Dinesen into our growing onboard library ( 29:49). Tim notCarruthers tries to understand womens’ cabins (31:30); details of the HMS Daring ‘unisex’ warship (32:14); drawer management on boats - is it different for girls? (34:50); cocoa as a woman's drink, and the story of Egbert Fry (36:52). Club business: Tony F reminds us about the German TV series ‘Das Rätsel der Sandbank’, allowing us to reprise the theme tune (42:08); how ‘The Onedin Line’ fuelled the revolution in Romania (43:14); Jon on Boulter’s lock in Berkshire (45:55); more on ‘The Onedin Line’ and on to ‘Howard’s Way' - we've gone too far... (46:50). Missions for next week: how possible is the row to Memmert?; more meals including breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel and dinner with the Dollmans; did the address at Schwanallee ever exist?

Twice now I've sat down to read something from Isak Dinesen's Winter's Tales , and twice when pawing through for a good story, I've ended up spending hours re-reading the stories in here, to the point of distracted negligence, but to the point of great self-satisfaction nevertheless. One day I'll just relent and read them all to you, but that'd be a big project, and if you're anything like me, you're already running on the fumes of big projects. ...
