Hay cosas que uno no las entiende, hasta mucho tiempo después. Puede saber de lo que tratan, a lo que se refieren, pero en realidad no ha comprendido nada. Así ocurre con algunas historias, como "El festín de Babette" (1950), el cuento de la escritora danesa Karen Blixen (1885-1962), que publicaba sus libros con el nombre de un hombre, Isak Dinesen. Muchos conocemos la historia por la película que ganó un Óscar en 1988, poco después de que las "Memorias de África" de la autora se llevaran al cine recibiendo siete de los once Óscar a los que estaba nominada. Las adaptó Sydney Pollack con Meryl Streep haciendo de la baronesa que escribió "El festín de Babette". En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" descubrimos que esta historia va más allá de la gastronomía. Es una celebración de la Gracia. Escuchamos fragmentos del libro, leído por Eugenio Barona, y escenas de la versión doblada al castellano de la película de Gabriel Axel. Oímos la voz de la actriz francesa que interpreta a Babette, Stéphane Audran, hablando de este cuento. José de Segovia lo analiza con la música, el diseño sonoro y la realización técnica de Daniel Panduro.
Antonio Martínez Asensio abre la sala de lectura de tres minutos de 'La Biblioteca' de Hoy por Hoy para contarnos 'El festín de Babett', de Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen).

‘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.

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.

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! The film is a faithful adaptation of Isak Dinesen's 1955 story, found in the collection Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard.

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.

Elvis Bego was born in Bosnia, fled the war there at age twelve and now lives in Copenhagen. His work can be found in Agni, Best American Essays 2020, Kenyon Review, New England Review, Threepenny Review, Tin House, and elsewhere. He is at work on a novel. In this episode, we discuss the dramatic events that led him to leave his homeland, his decision to embrace English over the many languages he's fluent in, the inspiration he draws from Isak Dinesen aka Karen Blixen, and the intriguing way his writing style evolves according to the language he's working in. At the end of the episode, Elvis reads an excerpt from his story Portrait Of The Artist As A Boy Couching, published earlier this year on Joyland Magazine. You can find him on X @CitizenBego

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.

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.

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
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.

After her marriage in 1914 to Baren Bror Blixen, she and her husband lived in British East Africa, where they owned a coffee plantation. She divorced from her husband in 1921 but continued to manage the plantation for another ten years, until the collapse of the coffee market forced her to sell the property and return to Denmark in 1931. There she began to write in English under the nom de plume Isak Dinesen. Her first book, and literary success, was Seven Gothic Tales. It was followed by Out of Africa, The Angelic Avengers (written under the pseudonym Pierre Andrézel), Winter's Tales, Last Tales, Anecdotes of Destiny, Shadows on the Grass, and Ehrengard. She died in 1962.From https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/7105/isak-dinesen/.

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.
