内容简介 在线阅读本书
Lucan has been orphaned and Zosine has been deserted, and London is a hostile place for two young girls without a home. Bound together by poverty, grief and their shared years at school, they set out to make a future for themselves in new surroundings. They are adopted by the austere, puritanical Reverend Pennhallow and his wife, and in their large, gloomy house they become immersed in study. But, after a chain of disturbing events, it does not take long before they realize that the cleric and his wife are not all they seem to be ...
作者简介 ISAK DINESEN was the pen-name of Karen Blixen, who was born in Rungsted, Denmark in 1885. After studying art at Copenhagen, Paris and Rome, she married her cousin, Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. Together they went to Kenya to manage a coffee plantation. After their divorce in 1921, she continued to run the plantation until a collapse in the coffee market forced her back to Denmark in 1931. Although she had written occasional contributions to Danish periodicals since 1905 (under the <I>nom de plume</I> of Osceola), her real début took place in 1934 with the publication of <I>Seven Gothic Tales</I>, written in English under her pen-name. <I>Out of Africa</I> (1937) is an autobiographical account of the years she spent in Kenya. Most of her subsequent books were published in English and Danish simultaneously, including <I>Winter’s Tales</I> (1942) and <I>The Angelic Avengers</I> (1946), under the name of Pierre Andrézol. Among her other collections of stories are <I>Last Tales</I> (1957), <I>Anecdotes of Destiny</I> (1958), <I>Shadows on the Grass</I> (1960) and <I>Ehrengard</I> (1963). All of these books are published by Penguin. Baroness Blixen died in Rungsted in 1962.
