Anaïs Nin Knihy
21. únor 1903 – 14. leden 1977
Narodila se ve Francii, proslulá erotička a autorka povídek, která získala mezinárodní věhlas svými deníky. Tyto deníky, pokrývající období od roku 1931 do roku 1974, zachycují cestu jedné ženy k sebepoznání. Anaïs Nin byla až do šedesátých let dvacátého století do značné míry přehlížena. Dnes je považována za jednu z předních spisovatelek 20. století a zdroj inspirace pro ženy, které zpochybňují konvenčně definované genderové role. Její dílo zdůrazňuje právo ženy být především lidskou bytostí.

Focusing on the creative process across various art forms, Anaïs Nin advocates for a poetic approach to novel writing as a response to the perceived sterility of mid-twentieth-century fiction. She synthesizes her insights with discussions on the hidden self, the genesis of fiction, and the interplay between diary writing and storytelling. Nin also reflects on her influences and the impact of her work on notable writers like D. H. Lawrence and Henry Miller, emphasizing the vital role of art in personal and artistic development.

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.
A charming and amusing view of Nin's early life, from age eleven to seventeen; the self-portrait of an innocent girl who is transformed, through her own insights, into an enlightened young woman. "An enchanting portrait of a girl's constant search for herself" (Library Journal). Preface by Joaquin Nin-Culmell; Index; photographs and drawings. Translated by Jean L. Sherman.
The author's experiences in Greenwich Village, where she defends young writers against the Establishment, and her trip across the country in an old Ford to California and Mexico. "[Nin is] one of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of this century" (New York Times Book Review). Edited and with a Preface by Gunther Stuhlmann; Index.
