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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
