4.9/5 (29268 ratings)

Description:Ten years since its first appearance in Denmark, The Pact is now published for the first time in an English translation. In any study of the life and work of the Danish writer Karen Blixen (or Isak Dinesen, her pen name) this is a key work, exposing much about the character and last years of this tragic figure and thowing new light on the inspiration behind her later work.Thorkild Bjørnvig has been described as Karen Blixen’s third and last great love. Het first, her cousin Bror Blixen whom she married, died in a car accident leaving her the fatal legacy of syphilis; her second, Denys Finch Hatton, was killed in an air crash shortly after a violent quarrel; when she met Bjørnvig in 1948, she was 64 and suffering the ravages of tertiary syphilis and her relationship with the 32-year-old poet, although intense and consuming, was never more than platonic.Bjørnvig, captivated by the magnetic charm of the older woman who could, when she chose, deploy the wiles of an enchantress, quickly fell under her spell and threw himself wholeheartedly into the “pact” she proposed, an undertaking to forsake everything for art. Inevitably, however, the relationship became a burden, although it took Bjørnvig six years to extricate himself emotionally and physically. Karen Blixen was utterly selfish, autocratic, possessive and jealous, a screaming harridan when flouted; yet to the end, her quick turns of mood could conjure up the spell-binder to win his favour.The Pact is in many ways a tragic book, revealing the evil that people can do to each other in the name of affection, but, like its subject-matter, it is enthralling in its analysis of two minds at odds and in its insight into a woman who was, despite all, a writer of considerable skill.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
