Earnest Hemingway, after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, said and was published by the New York Times on November 7, 1954: ""I would be happy today too - happier - if this prize was awarded. awarded to outstanding female writer Isak Dinesen.” So who is Isak Dinesen, who was twice, in 1954 and 1957, nominated for the Nobel Prize?

Her real name is Karen Christentze Dinesen, or Karen Blixen, born in Denmark on April 17, 1885 in a family with a merchant's mother and a noble landowner's family. Her father, a writer, politician, and former soldier, committed suicide when she was nine years old. Beginning to write poetry, plays, and short stories very early, in 1903, despite her family's objections, Karen Blixen enrolled to study Art at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen. In her youth, she traveled to many places: England, France, Italy and had a number of short stories printed.
