I've seen the movie 'Babette's Feast' many times as I had it on video. Reading the original book was a whole new experience for me. The deeper meaning stood out. It's not simply a feel-good story. It conveys truth that reached my heart. Try it and see for yourself.

It seems to be an easy story to be read, but it is not so. Karen Blixen gives us a lot to think in these few pages.Two narrow-minded sisters, a community of people without culture and an artist named Babette.Is it right to spend your own ability and money for people who don’t appreciate it and cannot even understand it?The final part of the book is a precise description of those people who have fear of living their own lives and prefer to wait a future eternal life that won’t exist!

This lovely short story explains more fully the beautiful movie it became. After such tragedy Babette made a gift of her whole self. We must all learn to do the same.

I had watched the film years ago and loved it. Funny that it should have all been in Danish, when though the author was Danish herself still managed to write in English, and English to be envied by many a native speaker and author. A thing must be said of Isak Denisen's ability with the English language, it is not without reason that Hemingway chastized the Nobel committee for literature for giving him the award over her.This story is so much better than the film and expertly crafted. It's a story that could only be written by a sinner who has no delusion that she had lived a saintly life. Only such sinners can truly appreciate the Grace of God offered in the Lord's Supper. Here she illustrates this when she has by chance a gormet French dinner prepared by the most famous of French Chefs cook a proper dinner in memory of a Norwegian Pietest (we might as Isak does identify him as a puritan) pastor to be eaten by his most devoted disciples and the unexpected guest, a man of the world, General Loewenheilm. The eleven devoted disciples are blind to their sin and are too proud and naive to appreciate the meal. However, General Loewenheilm, who comes to the dinner weighed down and depressed by his sins and the vanities of life, is the only one at the table who can truly appreciate what he is experiencing, and for him, the dinner is as life-changing as the forgiveness of sins offered in bread and wine.Truly fantastic O'Henry type spin to the whole tale. A story that can be read over and over again to unpack the layers of meaning.

Avevo visto il film, "Il pranzo di Babette", che mi era piaciuto molto, e questo mi ha spinto a leggere il racconto. Emozionante, delicato e profondo: davvero imperdibile!
