Bøger af Anaïs Nin

In 1913, Joaquin Nin abandoned his family, including his ten-year-old daughter, Anais. Twenty years later, Anais and Joaquin reunited and began an illicit sexual affair.

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.

Swallow Press's reissue of Winter of Artifice, with a new introduction by Laura Frost, presents an important opportunity to consider anew the work of Anais Nin who laid the groundwork for later writers, but whom critics frequently dismiss as solipsistic or overblown.

Mirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anais Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be "the One," the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection.

Children of the Albatross is divided into two sections: 'The Sealed Room' focuses on the dancer Djuna and a set of characters, chiefly male, who surround her; 'The Cage' brings together a case of characters already familiar to Nin's readers, but it is their meeting place that is the focal point of the story.

Explores the act of creation - in literature, film, art, and dance - to arrive at a new synthesis for the young artist struggling against the sterility, formlessness, and spiritual bankruptcy afflicting much of modern fiction.

”Han opdagede, hvordan hun dirrede af begær under armen, ved brysternes begyndelse, vibrationerne mellem brystvorterne og klitoris og mellem skamlæberne og munden, alle de mystiske forbindelser, som ophidsede andre steder end de, der blev kysset, strømme der løb fra hårrødderne til den nederste del af rygraden. Hvert sted, han kyssede, overvældede han med kærlige ord, smilehullerne nederst på ryggen, baldernes fasthed, ryggens usædvanlige bue, som understregede balderne – ”ligesom på en farvet kvinde,” sagde han.”  Citat fra Safran  Den fransk-spansk-amerikanske forfatter Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) tog efter en kosmopolitisk barndom ophold i Paris i 1924. Her mødte hun Henry Miller, der inspirerede hende til at eksperimenter med litterære genrer og til at udforske både intellektets og sansernes glæder. Nin var optaget af kvinders identitetssøgen og underbevidsthedens mønstre. Hun skrev en række romaner, hvoraf enkelte er oversat til dansk og er især kendt for sine syv dagbogsbind. Værket er en feministisk klassiker. Nin, som havde en dansk morfar, var gift flere gange og havde kendte affærer. Lydbogen er indlæst af Karin Rørbech
