«Last Tales» is Isak Dinesen's (Karen Blixen) collection of short stories, published by Penguin in paperback (352 pages, in English).
Twelve stories that Isak Dinesen wrote before her death in 1962: seven from the Albondocani cycle, a novel left unfinished; «Las Cariátides», an unfinished gothic tale about a couple tormented by a letter and a gypsy spell; and winter tales such as «Conversación nocturna en Copenhague», featuring a child king, a prostitute, and a poor poet.
The work originally appeared in 1957 as Sidste Fortællinger; this Penguin Modern Classics edition was published in 1986.
For readers of classic fiction and short narrative; also of interest to those who know Karen Blixen from Out of Africa.
