![]() ![]() Soon afterward, Dinesen returned to Denmark and began to write in earnest. While in Kenya, Dinesen met Denys Finch Hatton, and the two maintained a romance until his death in an airplane accident in 1931. The marriage was difficult, and the couple eventually divorced. In 1914, she married Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke and traveled to Kenya, where they started a coffee plantation. Dinesen wrote in English and then translated her stories into her native Danish, resulting in unusually beautiful prose that emphasized her self-declamation as a fortaellerske-an oral storyteller. An imaginative and artistic child, she attended the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and also studied in England, Switzerland, Italy and France. Isak Dinesen was born Karen Blixen at her family’s estate near the town of Rungsted, Denmark, in 1885. ![]()
