‎"BLIXEN-FIENECKE, KAREN.‎

‎Orig. handwritten and signed letter for ""Kjære Fru Munch Andersen."" (Dear Mrs. Munch Andersen). - [A HANDWRITTEN LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR OF ""OUT OF AFRICA""]‎

‎Dated ""20.8.43"". 2 pages 8vo. Written on blue paper w. the letterhead ""Wedellsborg/ Ejby."" The letter is a polite refusal to an invitation to give a lecture. It translates as thus: ""I am very sorry/ that that you have not/ received an answer to your letter/ sooner. For about a month/ I have been travelling around Funen, and/ I have been staying numerous/ places, and unfortunately I have not/ received your letter, there/ has possibly been an incorrect re-addressing and thereby delay./ I am sorry that I can/ not accept your/ kind request to/ give a lecture at your place. -/ In the fall I will/ have so much to do that I can/ not accept any more/ engagements. -/ Kind regards/ Yours sincerely/ Karen Blixen-Finecke.""‎

‎The legendary Danish writer, Karen Blixen-Finecke (pseudonym: Isak Dinesen) (1885-1962), was a Danish baroness, who married her cousin, the Swedish Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, in 1914. They soon moved to Africa, where they ran a coffee-farm near Nairobi, and the happiest years of Blixen's life were spent here (she used to say that ""Africa made me""). The farm in the Ngong Hills is the centre of her world famous novel, ""Out of Africa"". She divorced her husband, who was cheating on her and gave her syphilis, in 1922, and in 1932 she moved back to Denmark after the farm had gone bankrupt and her lover, Denys Finch-Hatton, had died in a plane-crash. She spent the remaining 30 years of her life in Denmark, and died a legendary writer. She greatly influenced writers and cultural personas of the generations to come, and many authors recognize the direct impact she has had on their writings. Several of her novels have been filmatized, most famously ""out of Africa"" with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize twice, she was elected honorary member of ""The American Academy of Arts and Letters"" (1957), and her portrait is printed on the Danish 50 kr. notes. She is the absolutely most famous of all modern Danish writers, and the only one of international fame.‎

‎"CAMUS, ALBERT.‎

‎L'Exil et le Royaume. nouvelles. - [PRESENTATION-COPY FOR HENRY HELL]‎

‎(Paris), Gallimard, (1957). Bound with the original printed wrappers in beautiful, elegant emerald green full morocco binding with gilt line-decoration in various heights and distances to boards and spine as well as vertical gilt lettering to spine. Top edge gilt. Binding signed A. Coutret. Wrapper a bit soiled, mostly the back wrapper. Otherwise very nice and clean. Paper evenly browned due to the paper quality. Gilt super ex-libris to inside of front board.‎

‎First edition, Service de Presse-copy (""S. P."" punctured to bottom of back wrapper) - with signed presentation-inscription for Henry Hell to half-title - of Camus' great collection of stories, which are considered among the best of his works. Together, these stoires cover the entire variety of existentialism - or absurdism. There is general consensus that the clearest manifestation of the ideals of Camus can be found in the present work. Henry Hell, a psudonym for José-Henri Lasry, was a law student in Algiers, where he met Camus and acted for the Théatre du Travail. He was a literary critic for several periodicals, and he reviewed sevearl of Camus' works. He is the author of ""Francis Poulenc, musicien francais"", and he later worked for a publishing house in Paris.‎

‎"CAMUS, ALBERT.‎

‎L'Été. Les essais LXVIII. - [PRESENTATION-COPY WITH A MOST SPLENDID PROVENANCE]‎

‎Paris, Gallimard, 1954. Uncut in the original printed wrappers. Excellent copy.‎

‎First edition, Service de presse-copy, i.e. review-copy (""S.P"" to bottom of title-page and to verso of back wrapper), with an excellent presentation-inscription, of Camus' magnificent and highly influential collection of essays entitled ""Summer"". The copy is inscribed to Camus' close friend and ally in numerous respects, Jean Paulhan: ""a Jean Paulhan/ en affectueuse pensée/ Albert Camus"" on half-title. The famous French writer, literary critic and publisher Jean Paulhan (1884-1964) shared many things with Camus, with whom he grew very close. Not only did he participate actively in the publication of Camus' first books by Gallimard, was one of the first to see the true value of Camus' ""The Stranger"", he was also a confidante of Camus, who considered Paulhan one of the main reasons that he became a proper author. In a letter to Paulhan dated September 17, 1952, at the moment of break with Sartre, Camus writes: ""Ever since I (thanks to you) became what is called an author, I have not ceased to be astonished by my brethren. Sometimes, it is true, in the sense of admiration. Today it is in another sense."" (Depuis que je suis devenu (en peu grâce à vous) ce qu'on apelle écrivain, je n'ai pas cessé d'être étonné par mes confrères. Parfois dans le sens de l'admiration, il est vrai. Aujourd'hui c'est dans un autre sens.).Paulhan was an early and active member of the French Resistance, director of the literary magazine Nouvelle Revue Française (NRF) (from 1925 to 1940 and again from 1946 to 1968) and a great translator of Malagasy poetry, which attracted the interest of the likes of Guillaume Apollinaire and Paul Éluard. He also wrote numerous works of literary criticism, ""The Flowers of Tarbes, or Terror in Literature"" (1941) probably being the most famous, and he wrote several autobiographical short stories. After the war, Paulhan he founded ""Cahiers de la Pléiade"", and in 1953 he re-launched NRF.Interestingly, especially in connection with Camus' famous essays in ""L'été"", which are devoted entirely to his beloved Algiers, Paulhan was loudly against independence for Algeria. He caused great controversy by opposing independence and supporting the French military during the Algerian War. This not only caused public problems for him, it also cost him on the personal front, as for instance Maurice Blanchot denounced him. The essays in ""L'été"" are devoted to Algiers and represent a very personal side of Camus, who provides a marvelous poetic and humorous picture of the provincial simplicities of Oran and Algiers. For many Camus-devotees, ""L'Été"" constitutes one of the most beloved works, as it gives the feel of a certain intimacy with the author that few of his other works does. ""In ""Return to Tipasa"", perhaps the most confessional essay in ""Summer"", which dates from a long trip to Algeria in December 1952, Camus issues his now famous testimony of survival - ""In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer"" (Hawes: Camus, A Romance, 2009, pp. 181-82).‎

‎"Che" Guevara [i.e. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna], Marxist revolutionary, major figure of the Cuban Revolution (1928-1967).‎

‎Autograph letter signed. Havana, 28. I. 1959.‎

‎4to. 1 page. Previously unpublished letter written in triumph three weeks after Che took Havana. His recipient is the Cuban magazine La Revista Bohemia, whom he congratulates and thanks for their work furthering his and Fidel Castro's cause: "las dedico este Fraternal y caluroso mensaje a ese maravilloso colectivo que son ustedes, incansables constructores de las ideas revolucionarias, paradi pura del socialismo y el comunismo, y baluartes y estandartes de la contribución a la edificación de la sociedad proletaria, les ex orto a que siguán trabajando con esmero y dedicación para que si guamos consolidando el triunfo." Over the course of the Cuban Revolution, Che came to understand the importance of media coverage in achieving his goals; La Revista Bohemia was one such media outlet. He signs off with what would become one of his standard closing phrases: "Patria o Muerte. Con fervor revolucionario. Che". - Gently creased, minor chipping.‎

The congress Che mentions is the Congreso nacional constituyente sindicato nacional de trabajadores de la alimentación.

He attended many such conferences, both in Cuba and abroad. - Somewhat faded, with a few hints of fraying.‎

The unspecified offer by Cross & Brown slightly predates the US embargo that was imposed on 19 October 1960 and was further extended in February 1962. Guevara was appointed Minister of Industries in February 1961, which he remained until his departure from Cuba in 1965. - On stationery with embossed and printed letterhead "El presidente del Banco nacional de Cuba".
