Lækre og indbydende genudgivelser af Anaïs Nins klassiske, erotiske fortællinger.I 1940'erne havde Anaïs Nin brug for penge, og på bestilling skrev hun erotiske noveller til en ukendt samler.

A "lyrical, impassioned" document of the intimate relationship between the two authors that was first disclosed in Henry and June (Booklist).This exchange of letters between the two controversial writers?Anaïs Nin, renowned for her candid and personal diaries, and Henry Miller, author of Tropic of Cancer?paints a portrait of more than two decades in their complex relationship as it moves through periods of passion, friendship, estrangement, and reconciliation."The letters may disturb some with their intimacy, but they will impress others with their fragrant expression of devotion to art." ? Booklist"A portrait of Miller and Nin more rounded than any previously provided by critics, friends, and biographers." ? Chicago TribuneEdited and with an Introduction by Gunther Stuhlmann

Although Anais Nin found in her diaries a profound mode of self-creation and confession, she could not reveal this intimate record of her own experiences during her lifetime. Instead, she turned to fiction, where her stories and novels became artistic "distillations" of her secret diaries.

Drawn from the original, uncensored journals of Anais Nin, "Henry and June" is an intimate account of a woman's sexual awakening. It covers a single momentous year - from late 1931 to the end of 1932 - during Nin's life in Paris, when she met Henry Miller and his wife, June. She fell in love with June's beauty and Henry's writing and, soon after June's departure for New York, began a fiery affair with Henry, which liberated her sexually and morally but undermined her marriage and led her into psychoanalysis. One question dominated her thoughts: what would happen when June returned to Paris? That event took place in October 1932, leaving Nin trapped between two loves - Henry and June.

Although Under a Glass Bell is now considered one of Anais Nin's finest collections of stories, it was initially deemed unpublishable. Refusing to give up on her vision, in 1944 Nin founded her own press and brought out the first edition, illustrated with striking black-and-white engravings by her husband, Hugh Guiler.

This "is the fifth and final volume of Anaèis Nin's continuous novel known as Cities of the Interior. First published by Swallow Press in 1961, the story follows the travels of the protagonist Lillian through the tropics to a Mexican city loosely based on Acapulco, which Nin herself visited in 1947 and described in the fifth volume of her Diary. As Lillian seeks the warmth and sensuality of this lush and intriguing city, she travels inward as well, learning that to free herself she must free the 'monster' that has been confined in a labyrinth of her subconscious. This new Swallow Press edition includes an introduction by Anita Jarczok"--

Anais Nin made her reputation through publication of her edited diaries and the carefully constructed persona they presented.

The brilliant tale of Anais Nin's true love affair with Henry Miller, and her ambiguous, charged relationship with his wife, June. Drawn from the journals of a single momentous year in Paris, Henry and June provides a wildly lyrical account of a woman's sexual awakening and the disillusion of idealized marriage.

Store dele af notaterne fra 1931 og 1932 i Anaïs Nins berømte dagbøger kunne længe ikke offentliggøres af hensyn til Nins daværende mand. Det begynder ved mødet med den amerikanske forfatter Henry Miller og hans smukke og sensuelle kone June. Da June forlader Paris og vender tilbage til New York, indleder Anaïs et altopslugende og stærkt erotisk forhold til Henry. Det truer hendes ægteskab og vækker så overvældende seksuelle følelser i hende, at hun aldrig bliver den samme igen. Samtidig markerer forholdet også starten på hendes kunstneriske karriere, der i dagbøgerne finder sin helt egen form."Henry og June står meget smukt, meget rent, som en dagbog over et forhold mellem mennesker, der har mod til at eksperimentere med måder at leve og elske på." - Bo Green Jensen, Weekendavisen"En imponerende tour de fource." - Information"Fascinerende og grum læsning ... Anaïs Nin skriver om sit liv med en intensitet og ordkraft, så du glemmer alt omkring dig." - B.T.

"A Joyous Transformation marks the end of Anaèis Nin's 35,000-page diary, the publication of which began in 1966 with the heavily edited Diary of Anaèis Nin. It chronicles Nin's final years, which were spent in the glow of newfound fame and at battle with the disease that would end her life, one of the most highly-documented and fascinating in modern literature. Included are revelations that were excised from the final volume of The Diary of Anaèis Nin, which covers the same period: Nin's relationships with husband Hugh (Hugo) Guiler and lover Rupert Pole, including Pole's infidelity; the toll her popularity and grueling lecture schedule placed on her; and details of how she coped with and railed against cancer, which destroyed her body at a time when she could have been continuing her work and enjoying its rewards. The diary ends with an astounding correspondence between Guiler and Pole, both of whom, contrary to popular belief, were well aware of each other before Nin's death in 1977. Following in the tradition of Henry and June (1986), Incest (1992), Fire (1995), Nearer the Moon (1996), Mirages (2013), Trapeze (2017), and The Diary of Others (2021), A Joyous Transition tells stories that were left out of The Diary of Anaèis Nin. The publication of the unexpurgated diaries was one of Nin's final wishes and one of Rupert Pole's unfulfilled goals. At long last, the series is complete"--

The Four-Chambered Heart, Anaïs Nin's 1950 novel, recounts the real-life affair she conducted with café guitarist Gonzalo Moré in 1936. Nin and Moré rented a house-boat on the Seine, and under the pervading influence of the boat's watchman and Moré's wife Helba, developed a relationship.

This novel, from Anaïs Nin's Cities of the Interior series, plays out in two parts: "The Sealed Room" and "The Café." Nin portrays her characters-many of whom represent Nin herself-with intense psychological depth as she boldly depicts eroticism, homosexuality, and androgyny using richly layered metaphors and her signature diaristic style.

Auletris is a recently discovered, previously lost collection of erotica by Anais Nin, consisting of two major sections: "Life in Provincetown" and "Marcel." A drastically cut version of "Marcel" appears in Nin's bestselling Delta of Venus, and "Life in Provincetown" has never been published until now. Written in the early 1940s for a collector at a dollar a page, the erotica was also given to agents to sell far and wide. Auletris was sold to Milton Lubovitsky in 1950; Lubovitsky typed up five copies and sold them under the imprint of Press of the Sunken Eye to private buyers under the table. One of these copies surfaced when it was being offered in an auction, and it was then discovered that this collection had been lost to the public for decades. Once the authorship was verified, it was readied for true publication."Life in Provincetown" is a collection of interwoven stories set in one of Nin's favorite haunts and is populated with bohemian characters who engage in tabooed sexual behavior, all described in Nin's classic poetic prose. "Marcel" is another set of stories set mostly in Paris and is largely autobiographical, with many of the characters and situations taken directly from Nin's diaries. It is three times longer than the version in Delta of Venus and contains many lengthy passages, stories even, that were cut and never before published. Auletris is the first new Anais Nin collection of erotica since Little Birds in 1979.

Anais Nin and Lawrence Durrell, along with their mutual friend Henry Miller, formed a triumvirate they called the "three musketeers" in Paris during the 1930s. Not only did they support each other's work before becoming individually famous, (Nin for her Diary, Durrell for his "Alexandria Quartet," Miller for his Tropic novels), they formed life-long friendships that endure in their correspondence. For the first time, Nin's letters to Durrell and several of his responses are in print, revealing the origins, depth, longevity and pitfalls of their complex relationship. As Durrell writes to Nin in 1967, "Sometimes one quite inadvertently hurts friends and loses them without meaning to, without wanting to, and spends the rest of their life in puzzled me-fulness, chewing the cud and wondering. Not me. Toujours, here I am, your old friend."Spanning forty years, these letters follow the lives of two important writers from the time they were seeking their authentic voices until each had achieved what they had long sought: literary and personal fame.

In 1932, two years after D. H. Lawrence's death, a young woman wrote a book about him and presented it to a Paris publisher. She recorded the event in her diary: "It will not be published and out by tomorrow, which is what a writer would like when the book is hot out of the oven, when it is alive within oneself.

In this ?erotically charged?(Publishers Weekly) diary that picks up where Incest left off, Nin chronicles a restless search for fulfillment that leads her to New York City-?that brilliant giant toy? -then back to Paris and Henry, and eventually into the arms of a passionate new lover.
