Anaïs Nin Książki

IV tom „Dziennika” Anais Nin po raz pierwszy ukazuje się w Polsce, eksplorując kluczowe tematy takie jak jaźń, kobiecość, nerwica, wolność i związki. Nin, z charakterystyczną dla siebie wnikliwością, dostrzega i dokumentuje to, co w danym momencie jest ledwo zauważalne. W swoich refleksjach porusza problem rosnącego izolowania się ludzi w erze szybkiej komunikacji, gdzie iluzja bliskości z innymi często zastępuje prawdziwe więzi. Zauważa, że mechaniczne głosy i media mogą ograniczać nasze poczucie intymności, co jest szczególnie aktualne w dzisiejszych czasach, gdy mamy dostęp do natychmiastowej komunikacji. Tom czwarty to najbogatsza treściowo część dotychczasowych publikacji, ukazująca Nin w szczytowej fazie twórczej. Czytelnik odkrywa jej bunt przeciw powierzchownemu „realizmowi”, na rzecz zgłębiania wewnętrznych, emocjonalnych krajobrazów. Podobnie jak Proust i Gide, Nin portretuje ludzi i ich otoczenie, ukazując ich sprzeczności z perspektywy własnej wrażliwości. Jej dzieło, prowadzone w formie systematycznego dziennika, stanowi jedno z najbardziej ambitnych przedsięwzięć w nowoczesnym piśmiennictwie. Anais Nin, francuska pisarka, była aktywna w artystycznej bohemie Paryża w latach 20. i 30., znana m.in. z trójkąta miłosnego z Henrym Millerem.

The author's experiences in Mexico, California, New York, and Paris, her psychoanalysis, and her experiment with LSD. "Through her own struggling and dazzling courage [Nin has] shown women groping with and growing with the world" (Minneapolis Tribune). Edited and with a Preface by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index.

Nin continues her debate on the use of drugs versus the artist's imagination, portrays many famous people in the arts, and recounts her visits to Sweden, the Brussels World's Fair, Paris, and Venice. "[Nin] looks at life, love, and art with a blend of gentility and acuity that is rare in contemporary writing" (John Barkham Reviews). Edited and with a Preface by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index.

With an introduction by Allison Pease, this new edition of House of Incest is a lyrical journey into the subconscious mind of one of the most celebrated feminist writers of the twentieth-century. Originally published in 1936,  House of Incest  is Anaïs Nin’s first work of fiction. Based on Nin’s dreams, the novel is a surrealistic look within the narrator’s subconscious as she attempts to distance herself from a series of all-consuming and often taboo desires she cannot bear to let go. The incest Nin depicts is a metaphor—a selfish love wherein a woman can appreciate only qualities in a lover that are similar to her own. Through a descriptive exploration of romances and attractions between women, between a sister and her beloved brother, and with a Christ-like man, Nin’s narrator discovers what she thinks is that a woman’s most perfect love is of herself. At first, this self-love seems ideal because it is attainable without fear and risk of heartbreak. But in time, the narrator’s chosen isolation and self-possessed anguish give way to a visceral nightmare from which she is unable to wake.

Beginning with Nin's arrival in New York, this volume is filled with the stories of her analytical patients. There is a shift in emphasis also as Nin becomes aware of the inevitable choice facing the artist in the modern world. "Sensitive and frank...[Nin's] diary is a dialogue between flesh and spirit" (Newsweek). Edited and with a Preface by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index.

"This celebrated volume begins when Nin is about to publish her first book and ends when she leaves Paris for New York"--

The final volume ends as the author wished-not with her last two years of pain but at a joyous, reflective moment on a trip to Bali. "One of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters" (Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times). Edited and with a Preface by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index; photographs.

The author's experiences in Mexico, California, New York, and Paris, her psychoanalysis, and her experiment with LSD. "Through her own struggling and dazzling courage [Nin has] shown women groping with and growing with the world" (Minneapolis Tribune).

The intimacy between Nin and Miller, first disclosed in Henry and June, is documented further in this impassioned exchange of letters between the two controversial writers. Edited and with an Introduction by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index.

All the yearning, the passion, and the wantonness of lust are explored in this broad-ranging anthology of sensual stories, poems, and fables on a perennially hot topic. From Italo Calvino's humorous observations in The Loves of the Tortoises and Simone de Beauvoir's bittersweet reflections in The Prime of Life to the dark desires of The Vampire Lestat and the taboo obsession of Lolita, Lust offers an uncensored collection by some of the world's most respected writers, both classic and contemporary. With an elegant, two-color design as alluring as its contents are captivating, Lust makes a thoroughly pleasurable gift for a lover, or a perfect literary bedside companion.

Here, in more than twenty essays, Nin shares her unique perceptions of people, places, and the arts. Includes several lectures and two interviews.

Few writings explore a woman's love life in such detail, with such subtlety, insight, and pain, as does Anais Nin's original, uncensored diary. It is a life record that deals openly with the physical aspects of relationships and unsparingly with the full spectrum of psychological ramifications. Here was a woman who sought the freedom to act out her sexual and emotional desires with the same guiltless, "amoral" abandon that men have always claimed for themselves. When Nin began publishing sections of her diary in 1966, this aspect of her life was excised, though clearly there was more than could be told at the time concerning her relationships with Henry Miller and his wife, June, with the writer and actor Antonin Artaud, with her analysts Rene Allendy and Otto Rank, and - most important - with her father. Here now is the previously missing portion of Nin's life in the crucial years from 1932 to 1934, the shattering psychological drama that drove her to seek absolution from her psychoanalysts for the ultimate transgression. In its raw exposure of a woman's struggle to come to terms with herself, to find salvation in the very act of writing, Incest unveils an Anais Nin without masks and secrets, yet in the end still mysterious, perhaps inexplicable.

A magical canal boat on the Seine becomes the ideal, secluded "cell" in which Djuna and Rango, a cafe guitarist, conduct their passionate affair. But in the background is Rango's invalid wife, who gradually encroaches on their passion. Can their relationship survive her manipulations?

From being a cult figure of the early feminist movement, Anaïs Nin later rose to international prominence with her writing. Characterised by the use of powerful, and at times, disquieting imagery, her work reveals great sensitivity and perception. These thirteen stories are no exception, and with a 'touch as light as a cobweb and colouring made of mirages' she penetrates the emotional depths of the individual in a world where illusion is the key to reality... Often considered Anaïs Nin's finest work of fiction, this collection of short stories was self-published by Nin with an old-fashioned hand press in 1944. Among the titles are "Houseboat," "The Mouse," "The Labyrinth," and "Birth."

Evocative and superbly erotic, Little Birds is a powerful journey into the mysterious world of sex and sensuality. From the beach towns of Normandy to the streets of New Orleans, these thirteen vignettes introduce us to a covetous French painter, a sleepless wanderer of the night, a guitar-playing gypsy, and a host of others who yearn for and dive into the turbulent depths of romantic experience.

Drawn from journals, this book is an account of a woman's sexual awakening, covering a single momentous year - 1931-32, in Paris, when June fell in love with Henry Miller, undermining her own idealized marriage. The question of the outcome of June Miller's return to Paris dominates her thoughts

In Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin penned a lush, magical world where the characters of her imagination possess the most universal of desires and exceptional of talents. Among these provocative stories, a Hungarian adventurer seduces wealthy women then vanishes with their money; a veiled woman selects strangers from a chic restaurant for private trysts; and a Parisian hatmaker named Mathilde leaves her husband for the opium dens of Peru. Delta of Venus is an extraordinarily rich and exotic collection from the master of erotic writing.

Anais Nin's Ladders to Fire interweaves the stories of several women, each emotionally inhibited in her own way: through self-doubt, fear, guilt, moral drift, and distrust. The novel follows their inner struggles to overcome these barriers to happiness and wholeness.

Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. A major inspiration for the early feminist movement, Anais Nin became notorious following the publication of her sensual journals. Penguin publish a wide range of Nin's books, including the sensuous Delta of Venus. Originally written in the 1940s, these stories are mesmerizing explorations of art, power and passionate desire by one of the most eloquent writers of erotic literature.

"Her sense of woman is unique... she excites male readers and incites female readers." - The New York Times Book ReviewSabina is a firebird blazing through 1950s New York: she is a woman daring to enjoy the sexual licence that men have always known. Wearing extravagant outfits and playing dangerous games of desire, she deliberately avoids commitment, gripped by the pursuit of pleasure for its own sake.In A Spy In The House of Love, Anaïs Nin expressed her individual vision of feminine sexuality with a ferocious dramatic force. Through Sabina's affairs with four men, she lays bare all the duplicity and fragmentation of self that is involved in the search for love.

Volume 2 of The Quotable Anais Nin contains 365 quotations (one for each day of the year) with confirmed citations. The contents are divided into categories of Lust for Life; Love and Sensuality; Consciousness; Women and Men; and Writing and Art. The quotations come from a wide spectrum of Anais Nin's work, some of it as yet unpublished, including her famous diaries, fiction, erotica, critical work, lectures, and interviews. Collected, edited and introduced by Paul Herron.

This candid volume from the renowned diarist covers her years of struggle, and eventual triumph, as an author in America during World War II.

Djuna è una giovane danzatrice, che vede nella danza l’unica possibilità di riscatto da un’infanzia difficile trascorsa in un orfanotrofio. Ottenuta una borsa di studio per una prestigiosa scuola di ballo di Parigi, inizia a frequentare i caffè di Montmartre, stringendo amicizia con giovani artisti. Con alcuni di loro intreccia storie d’amore e tra questi, due saranno particolarmente importanti: Michael, un omosessuale, e Paul, un adolescente segnato dall’educazione severa e autoritaria dei genitori al quale Djuna insegna il senso profondo della libertà.L’intreccio di amore carnale e passione per la danza costituisce una tramatura sottile e continua che affascina il lettore, rendendo questo romanzo finora inedito in Italia, uno dei più riusciti di Anaïs Nin per ricchezza di immagini e costruzione narrativa.

The stories in Winter of Artifice are studies of the father-daughter relationship, explorations of self-discovery , while legendary House of Incest is described by the author as "the seed of all my work, the poem from which my novels were born". All four pieces are closely related to the now-famous Journals.

Beginnend mit Nins Ankunft in New York enthält dieser Band die Geschichten ihrer analytischen Patienten. Es gibt einen Wandel in der Betonung, als Nin sich der unvermeidlichen Wahl bewusst wird, vor der der Künstler in der modernen Welt steht. "Empfindlich und offen...[Nins] Tagebuch ist ein Dialog zwischen Fleisch und Geist."

In diesem Roman gibt die Nin erneut Stimme zu den tiefsten und intimsten Gefühlen der Frauen. Die Protagonistin ist eine Frau, die zwischen Vergessen und Bewusstsein schwankt, auf der verzweifelten Suche nach einem tiefergehenden Gleichgewicht. Lillian ist eine Frau auf der Flucht, scheinbar vor einer turbulenten Vergangenheit, in Wirklichkeit jedoch vor sich selbst. In der mexikanischen Stadt Golconda, wo sie als Jazzpianistin in einem Nachtclub arbeitet, versucht sie zu vergessen und sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen, fern von ihrem Heimatland, ihrem Ehemann, ihren Kindern und ihren Liebhabern. Doch bald erkennt sie, dass dies in Wirklichkeit eine rein innere Reise ist, in der die Vergangenheit, die sie zu vergessen versucht hat, mit Nachdruck an die Oberfläche drängt und gehört, betrachtet und verstanden werden will.

Tagebücher, in denen sich die intime Gefühls- und Gedankenwelt einer Siebzehnjährigen offenbart. >>Wie in allen früher erschienen Tagebuchbänden überstürzen sich die Ereignisse eher, als daß sie sich entwickeln, sie explodieren eher, als daß sie zum Blühen kommen; sie greifen eher ungestüm als vorsichtig um sich. Anais lebte vorwiegend in der Zukunft, manchmal in der Vergangenheit und immer nur ungeduldig in der Gegenwart. Dies hinderte sie jedoch nicht daran, die Realität der Gegenwart voll und ganz zu erleben.<< (Joaquin Nin-Culmell)

Collages explores a world of fantasy and dreams through an eccentric young painter. A radical work in its time (1964), Anais Nin dispensed with normal structural convention and allowed her characters to wander freely in space and time in an attempt to describe life with the disconnected clarity of a dream in which hip and freakish lives intersect or merge. Perhaps reflecting a developing contemporary awareness of abstract art, Collages is a series of impressions rather than a coherent whole, a shifting notebook indelibly inscribed with Nin's humour, invention and unrivalled gift for sensuous description.

Las cartas de Henry Miller a Anaïs Nin recopiladas aquí abarcan un período de 15 años, desde 1931 hasta 1946. Estas cartas son quizás lo más cercano que podemos tener a un retrato "autobiográfico" sin adornos y consciente de Henry Miller durante estos años decisivos.

Dit eerste deel beslaat haar Parijse jaren van 1931 tot 1934, waarin de ontmoeting en de daaruit voortvloeiende intense vriendschap met Henry Miller een grote plaats inneemt. Maar ook Hitler en Franco, het maatschappelijk engagement tegenover de individuele artisticiteit, het surrealisme, het theater van de wreedheid, veranderende opvattingen over literatuur en schilderkunst, zijn dingen die nu nog doorwerken en zelfs steeds belangrijker worden.

Das Buch erforscht Themen wie Erotik, Homosexualität und Androgynie und taucht in die psychologischen Komplexitäten seiner Charaktere ein, von denen viele Aspekte der Autorin selbst widerspiegeln. Es ist in zwei Teile gegliedert: "Der versiegelte Raum" und "Das Café". Nin zeigt ihren charakteristischen diaristischen Stil und verwendet vielschichtige Metaphern, um die Feinheiten menschlicher Beziehungen und Wünsche lebhaft darzustellen.

Die Malerin Renate ist eine Abenteurerin, eine Menschenfängerin, eine Wandererin, die es früh aus dem heimatlichen Wien – und aus der überintimen Beziehung mit dem eifersüchtigen Vater – in die weitere Welt treibt: nach Mexiko, nach Kalifornien ... Die skurrilen, oft narzißtischen, fast immer künstlerisch begabten Leute, denen sie begegnet, mit denen sie in vielfältige Tauschverhältnisse eintritt, erinnern sie an die Wiener Parkskulpturen ihrer Jugend – so daß aus den manchmal grotesken, manchmal diabolischen Episoden des Romans allmählich ein Garten voller Statuen wird.

Questo libro include saggi brevi che coprono un periodo di quarant'anni e illustra la varietà di stili e preoccupazioni che hanno reso Anaïs Nin una delle scrittrici più influenti del suo secolo.

In Nizza, Paris und in den phantastischen Nischen der «Großen Welt» spielend, trügerisch nach Blüten und Hoffnungen duftend, sind Anaïs Nins frühe Erzählungen delikate, von origineller Beobachtungskraft und melancholischem Witz zeugende Versuche über die fatale Neigung von Männern und Frauen, dem anderen eben jene Züge auszutreiben, die ursprünglich die Anziehung bewirkten.

Een mislukt huwelijk, betekenisloze trouw, een minnaar op papier; telkens opnieuw hebben vrouwen schandalen veroorzaakt, omdat ze leefden en beminden zoals zij het wilden. In Echte vrouwen beminnen anders zijn de opwindendste levensgeschiedenissen verzameld van vrijgevochten vrouwen als Belle van Zuylen, Alma Mahler Werfel, Anna Blaman en Rita Mae Brown, die zich niet door conventies lieten intomen, maar deden wat hun hart hen ingaf.Echte vrouwen beminnen anders is het tweede deel in de succesvolle 'Echte vrouwen' serie, waarin verhalen van vrouwelijke topauteurs verzameld zijn rond een bepaald thema.

Deze 28 erotisch getinte verhalen van Anais Nin (1903-1977) zijn stuk voor stuk met veel plezier en verve, en vooral met een voorliefde voor het anekdotische, geschreven vertelsels. De eerste vijftien, eerder gepubliceerd in de bundel 'Venus Delta', zijn behalve door eigen beleving en fantasie, vooral geinspireerd door de klassieken op het gebied van de erotische literatuur, als de Kama Soetra. Bij de volgende dertien eerder gepubliceerde verhalen ('Lieve Vogeltjes') heeft de schrijfster zich laten inspireren door verhalen uit de vrienden- en kennissenkring, waardoor ze, ondanks de gebondenheid aan het erotische thema, toch zeer gevarieerd zijn geworden. Goed geschreven, met gevoel voor humor. Een humor die het prikkelend element niet in de weg staat, maar er wel voor zorgt dat de verhalen zich makkelijk laten lezen. De vertaling is uitstekend. Paperbackuitgave; zeer kleine, ouderwetse druk, soft erotisch omslag.

Anais Nin beschreibt in ihren turbulenten Jahren von 1934 bis 1937 ihr leidenschaftliches Leben und ihre wechselnden erotischen Beziehungen. Sie bricht Tabus und enthüllt die Wahrheit ihrer intensiven Erfahrungen.

Der letzte Band endet, wie die Autorin es wünschte - nicht mit ihren letzten zwei Jahren des Schmerzes, sondern in einem freudigen, nachdenklichen Moment auf einer Reise nach Bali.

The author's experiences in Mexico, California, New York, and Paris, her psychoanalysis, and her experiment with LSD. "Through her own struggling and dazzling courage [Nin has] shown women groping with and growing with the world" (Minneapolis Tribune).

„Erotika schreiben ist für mich wilde Poesie!“ Ihre Tagebücher waren ihre engsten Vertrauten. Ihnen offenbarte Anais Nin ihre Sehnsüchte und Geheimnisse. Der neue Band umfasst die Jahre 1937 bis 1939 und dokumentiert das unruhige, dabei kompromisslose Leben der Nin während dieser Zeit - mit drei Männern an ihrer Seite.

Vrouwen zijn altijd even reislustig geweest als mannen. Door hitte of koude, oceanen of woestijnen hebben zij zich nooit laten tegenhouden. In Echte vrouwen reizen beter vertellen opmerkelijke vrouwen over de opmerkelijke reizen die zij gemaakt hebben. Bijvoorbeeld een zeilreis rond de wereld, een verblijf bij indianen in het Amazonegebied, een trektocht door de Sahara en een verblijf in het raadselachtige Iran. Stuk voor stuk reizen die niet zonder tegenslag verliepen, maar sterk als zij zijn hebben deze vrouwen zich daardoor niet uit het veld laten slaan.
