7 september 2016
Karen Blixen died 54 years ago due to a long-term disease her husband passed on to her and that diminished her strength in the final period of her life. Syphilis had already marked Blixen’s life, when with only 10 years old her father, to whom she was really close, killed himself due to this disease. Nowadays, she is buried in her home town, Denmark; away from Africa, the continent that inspired her most famous novel, “Out of Africa”.
