Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard

Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard
- Used Book in Good Condition
In the classic â€œBabetteâ€™s Feast,â€ a mysterious Frenchwoman prepares sumptuous feast for a gathering of religious ascetics and, in doing so, introduces them to the true essence of grace. In â€œThe Immortal Story,â€ a miserly old tea-trader living in Canton wishes for power and finds redemption as he turns an oft-told sailorsâ€™ tale into reality for a young man and woman. And in the magnificent novella Ehrengard, Dinesen tells of the powerful yet restrained rapport between a noble Wagnerian beauty and rakish artist.
Â
Hauntingly evoked and sensuously realized, the five stories read and novella collected here and have the hold of â€œfairy stories read in childhood . . . of dreams . . . and of our life as dreams.â€ (The New York Times)
