Anecdotes of Destiny

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First US edition

Anecdotes of Destiny is a collection of stories by Danish author Karen Blixen written under the pseudonym Isak Dinesen. It was the last work published during Karen Blixen's lifetime, on October 12, 1958.

Two of the stories from the collection have been adapted into films: "The Immortal Story" as the 1968 film The Immortal Story (directed by Orson Welles), and "Babette's Feast" as the 1987 Danish film Babette's Feast (directed by Gabriel Axel).

The collection was re-published in 1993 by the Vintage Books imprint, combined with Blixen's novella Ehrengard, under the title Anecdotes of Destiny and Ehrengard.
