La intemporalidad perdida

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 161

NIN INÉDITA La mejor introducción a la obra de una autora admirada por lectores y escritores de ayer y de hoy: dieciséis relatos apasionantes UNO DE LOS MEJORES LIBROS DE 2021 SEGÚN EL INDEPENDIENTE «Antes de Lena Dunham, estuvo Anaïs Nin.» Sady Doyle, The Guardian «Mujer loca y sabia. [...] Esa literatura marginal que cada día me parece más bella.» Julio Cortázar Estoy cansada de buscar una filosofía que concuerde conmigo y con mi mundo, quiero buscar un mundo que concuerde conmigo y con mi filosofía. Escritos cuando tenía unos veinticinco años y vivía en Francia con su marido, el poeta y banquero norteamericano Hugh Parker Guiler, estos dieciséis relatos inéditos en castellano sorprenden por su madurez y frescura, a la vez que muestran ya los dos elementos que luego se afianzarían en su obra —la ironía y el feminismo— y también sus obsesiones —el deseo femenino, la sexualidad, el adulterio, la belleza y el retrato de una masculinidad tan deslumbradora como tóxica—. Algunas de estas historias están protagonizadas por claros alter ego de Nin; otras, por apasionadas bailarinas de flamenco, misteriosos extranjeros, músicos... Poco después de...

Conversations with Anaïs Nin

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 280

Largely ignored by mainstream audiences for the first thirty years of her career, Anais Nin (1903-1977) finally came into her own with the publication of the first part of her diary in 1966. Thereafter she was catapulted into fame. Throughout the late sixties and the seventies she attracted a host of devoted and admiring readers in the counter culture, who were magnetized by her personal liberation and openness. For a woman to make such probing exploration of the intimate recesses of her psyche made her a cult figure with a large and lasting readership. Born in France, Anais Nin lived much of her life in America. Her liaison with Henry Miller and his wife June, documented in her explicitly detailed diaries, became the subject of a major film of the nineties. Her forthright books, her diaries that continue to be published in a steady flow, and her charismatic charm made her the subject of many candid interviews, such as those collected here. Eight included in this volume are printed for the first time. Many others were originally published in magazines that are now defunct. Nin elaborates on subjects only touched upon in the diaries, and she speaks also of her role in the women's...

Anais Nin

Autor: Suzanne Nalbantian

Número de Páginas: 290

This book of essays is the first to probe Anais Nin's achievements as a literary artist. With an introduction by the editor, Suzanne Nalbantian, the collection examines the literary strategies of Nin in their psychoanalytical and stylistic dimensions. Various contributors scrutinize Nin's artistry, identifying her unique modernist techniques and her poetic vision. Others observe the transfer of her psychoanalytical positions to narrative. The volume also contains fresh views of Nin by her brother Joaquin Nin-Culmell as well as innovative analyses of the reception of her works.

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 291

The fifth volume of “one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” (Los Angeles Times).

Delta de Venus

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 352

Escritos a principios de la década de 1940 por encargo de un excéntrico coleccionista de libros que insistía en pedir «menos poesía» y descripciones más explícitas en las escenas sexuales, los relatos de Delta de Venus no vieron la luz hasta los años 1970. Ambientados en torno al París de la época e hilados por la aparición recurrente de personajes comunes de distinta importancia según cada cuento, ofrecen una visión libre de las relaciones humanas, en la que el erotismo y el ansia de placer no excluyen ni la belleza ni el sentimiento, ni la amistad ni la búsqueda de la autenticidad.

The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1923–1927

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 337

A revealing look at the life of this “extraordinary and unconventional writer” during the mid-1920s (The New York Times Book Review). In this volume of her earlier series of personal diaries, Anaïs Nin tells how she exorcised the obsession that threatened her marriage—and nearly drove her to suicide. “Through sheer nerve, confidence, and will, Nin made of the everyday something magical. This was a gift, indeed, and it’s a fascinating process to witness.” —The Christian Science Monitor With an editor’s note by Rupert Pole and a preface by Joaquin Nin-Culmell

The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1955–1966

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 433

The sixth volume of the diary of “one of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of [the twentieth] century” (The New York Times Book Review). Anaïs Nin continues “one of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” with this volume covering more than a decade of her midcentury life (Los Angeles Times). She debates 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

The Early Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1920–1923

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 579

The diarist’s account of her life in the early 1920s explores “the conflict she felt between artistic longings and her pre-ordained female fate” (The Detroit News). Continuing the journey of self-education and self-discovery she began in Linotte, Anaïs Nin discloses a part of her life that had previously remained private. She discusses the period in which she met Hugo Guiler, the young man who later became her husband, and made the wrenching transition from the shelter of her family to the world of artists and models. She also reveals the struggle she faced between her expected role as a woman and her determination to be a writer—a negotiation that still poses difficulties for many of us almost a century after Nin wrote this diary. “Through sheer nerve, confidence, and will, Nin made of the everyday something magical. This was a gift, indeed, and it’s a fascinating process to witness.” —The Christian Science Monitor With a preface by Joaquin Nin-Culmell

Anaïs Nin

Autor: Deirdre Bair

Número de Páginas: 686

"Deirdre Bair, renowned for her biographies of Samuel Beckett and Simone de Beauvoir, has now written the definitive biography of the complex and controversial Anais Nin. With exclusive and unprecedented access to all of Nin's unpublished archives, including more than 250,000 handwritten diary pages, Bair paints a startlingly different portrait of Nin, hitherto best known for her sexual peccadilloes and especially her affair with Henry Miller. Bair reveals Nin's lifelong struggle to become a respected writer, to position herself at the right hand of the intellectual elite, and to construct a way of life so complicated that it verged at times on incomprehensibility, even to herself." ""To live life as a dream" was Nin's motto, and she did so. She was a bigamist for more than thirty years, creating a "Lie Box" to help her keep her stories straight. And always she kept her diary, which eventually became one of the most astonishing renderings of a contemporary woman's life, noted as much for what she left out as for what she included. Bair's biography fills in the blanks and shows how Nin reflected the major themes that have come to characterize the latter half of the twentieth...

The Making of a Counter-culture Icon

Autor: Maria R. Bloshteyn

Número de Páginas: 281

At first glance, the works of Fedor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) do not appear to have much in common with those of the controversial American writer Henry Miller (1891-1980). However, the influencer of Dostoevsky on Miller was, in fact, enormous and shaped the latter's view of the world, of literature, and of his own writing. The Making of a Counter-Culture Icon examines the obsession that Miller and his contemporaries, the so-called Villa Seurat circle, had with Dostoevsky, and the impact that this obsession had on their own work. Renowned for his psychological treatment of characters, Dostoevsky became a model for Miller, Lawrence Durrell, and Anais Nin, interested as they were in developing a new kind of writing that would move beyond staid literary conventions. Maria Bloshteyn argues that, as Dostoevsky was concerned with representing the individual's perception of the self and the world, he became an archetype for Miller and the other members of the Villa Seurat circle, writers who were interested in precise psychological characterizations as well as intriguing narratives. Tracing the cross-cultural appropriation and (mis)interpretation of Dostoevsky's methods and philosophies by...

The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1966–1974

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 389

The seventh and final volume of the author’s “remarkable” diary is filled with the reflections of an older woman as she journeys through the world (Los Angeles Times). “One of the most remarkable diaries in the history of letters” ends as the author wished: not with her last two years of pain but at a joyous moment on a trip to Bali (Los Angeles Times). As she ages, Anaïs Nin reflects on how the deeply personal and introspective nature of her writings intertwines with her public life and her connections with other people, including her devoted readers. “One of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of [the twentieth] century.” —The New York Times Book Review Edited and with a preface by Gunther Stuhlmann

Una vida con propósito

Autor: Rick Warren

Número de Páginas: 435

A groundbreaking manifesto on the meaning of life. The most basic question everyone faces in life is 'Why am I here?'. What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God---and His eternal purpose for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God's purposes for putting us on earth. 'The Purpose-Driven Life' takes the groundbreaking message of the award-winning 'Purpose-Driven Church' and goes deeper, applying it to the lifestyle of individual Christians. This book helps readers understand God's incredible plan for their lives. Warren enables them to see 'the big picture' of what life is all about and begin to live the life God created them to live. 'The Purpose-Driven Life' is a manifesto for Christian living in the 21st century---a lifestyle based on eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using Biblical stories and letting the Bible speak for itself, Warren clearly explains God's 5 purposes for each of us: We were planned for God's pleasure---experience real worship. We were formed for God's family---enjoy real fellowship. We...

American Lives

Autor: Robert F. Sayre

Número de Páginas: 750

American Lives is a groundbreaking book, the first historically organized anthology of American autobiographical writing, bringing us fifty-five voices from throughout the nation's history, from Abigail Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Jonathan Edwards, and Richard Wright to Quaker preacher Elizabeth Ashbridge, con man Stephen Burroughs, and circus impresario P.T.

A scholarly and popular landmark, American Lives is a book for general readers and for teachers, students, ...

Diarios amorosos

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 885

«Y lo que tengo que decir es algo que realmente no tiene que ver con el artista o el arte; es la mujer la que tiene que hablar». Anaïs Nin Pocos textos exploran la vida sentimental de una mujer con tanto detalle y franqueza como los de Anaïs Nin. En ellos se abordan abiertamente los aspectos físicos y psicológicos de una escritora que siempre buscó actuar con plena libertad e independencia. En Incesto (1932-1934), donde aparecen por primera vez todos los fragmentos omitidos en las anteriores ediciones de la obra, destaca la decisiva transgresión que supuso el incesto con su padre, y que subyace en la mente de una mujer en apariencia tan libre de ataduras y prejuicios. En Fuego (1934-1937), Nin prosigue el apasionante relato de su vida. Esta vez la acción transcurre entre París y Nueva York, y aborda sus ya conocidas relaciones con Henry Miller y el psicoanalista Otto Rank, además de sus encuentros con figuras como Rafael Alberti o Alejo Carpentier. Este libro reúne en un solo volumen Incesto y Fuego, los diarios amorosos no censurados de una de las voces más singulares del siglo XX.

Une espionne dans la maison de l'amour

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 172

Ainsi que le souligne André Bay dans son avant-propos, ce quatrième volet des Cités intérieures témoigne aussi de l'ambition littéraire d'une Anaïs Nin qui se voudrait reconnue comme une romancière à part entière, dans la lignée des auteurs qu'elle aime le plus: un D.H. Lawrence, un Proust, un Giraudoux, un Virginia Wolf... Après Paris, la péniche et la Seine des Chambres du cœur, Anaïs nous ramène dans le New York des années quarante. Le lecteur averti reconnaîtra en Alan, Hugo son mari, en Jay, Henry Miller, et il n'est plus interdit de voir dans le détracteur de mensonges une sorte d'Otto Rank. Et cette espionne dans cette maison de l'amour, n'est-ce pas Anaïs elle-même, qui veut tout savoir et tout expérimenter, et qui apparaît ici déguisée en Sabina, anagramme de Anaïs B, prête à défendre sa cause en même temps que celle de toutes les femmes éprises de la liberté?...

Women in Dialogue

Autor: Dilek Direnç , Günseli Sönmez İşçi

Número de Páginas: 247

Women in Dialogue: (M)Uses of Culture results from an international symposium held at Ege University, Izmir, Turkey, in 2006, which brought together scholars from over ten countries, and from multiple academic backgrounds, who share professional interest in women’s studies, and, to no less degree, in current women’s realities. The book presents a collection of essays united by a common focus on the position of women as objects of cultural production in different geographic, national, and political contexts, as well as the character and typology of women’s contribution to cultural activity across the ethnic or religious divide marking the face of contemporary world. The volume comprises two sections: the first, titled “Women in Dialogue,” contains contributions which analyze literary representations of women from a variety of perspectives, and from diverse spatial and temporal locations. The second part, titled “(M)Uses of Culture,” includes personalized observations by several women writers, of both poetry and fiction, their commentaries on their own work as artists, and their deeply experienced “musings” on the position of women as artists in the world of today. ...

Posar desnuda en La Habana

Autor: Wendy Guerra

Número de Páginas: 202

Es 1922. Anaïs Nin viaja a Cuba tras el rastro de un padre ausente e idealizado, en busca de su familia. Tiene 19 años y se ha comprometido con Hugo Guiler, un rico banquero cuyos padres se oponen a que su hijo se case con una latina católica y morena. Él está en Europa meditando sobre la decisión que habrá de tomar. Ella, de vuelta en la entrañable ciudad de sus padres tras haber vivido en Estados Unidos, escribe el diario por el que será conocida. A partir de las alusiones en éste a aquel periodo, Wendy Guerra imagina lo que Anaïs pudo sentir al llegar a la isla, sus dudas sobre la conveniencia de casarse, sus deseos de ser escritora y vivir en París y su determinación de ser una mujer libre, guiada sólo por la cadencia de su deseo. "Proyecté un apócrifo de sus líneas vacías a partir de un diario casi virgen que reescribo hoy de memoria, con los ojos cerrados y puño firme. Poseída por sus testimonios. Vivimos épocas distintas, pero acabamos encontrándonos en La Habana." WENDY GUERRA

The Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1931–1934

Autor: Anaïs Nin

Número de Páginas: 469

The acclaimed author details her bohemian life in 1930s Paris—including her famous affair with Henry Miller—in the classic first volume of her diaries. Born in France to Cuban parents, Anais Nin began keeping a diary at the age of eleven and continued the practice for the rest of her life. Confessional, scandalous, and thoroughly absorbing, her diaries became one of the most celebrated literary projects of the twentieth century. Writing candidly of her marriages and affairs—including those with psychoanalyst Otto Rank and author Henry Miller—Nin presents a passionate and detailed record of a modern woman’s journey of self-discovery. Edited and with an introduction by Gunther Stuhlmann, this celebrated first volume begins in the winter of 1931 and ends in the fall of 1934. It covers an auspicious time in Nin’s life, from when she is about to publish her first book to her decision to leave Paris for New York.

Auto-bio-graphie

Autor: Georges Gusdorf

Número de Páginas: 510

Auto : le moi. Bio : la vie. Graphie : l'écriture. Tels sont en effet les trois axes autour desquels s'organise la matière de l'autobiographie ? genre littéraire protéiforme, aussi infiniment varié que l'est son inépuisable sujet, l'homme. Telles sont les pistes qu'explore Georges Gusdorf dans ce deuxième volet des lignes de vie, après l'enquête plus historique des Ecritures du moi. Ecrire sur soi, c'est parier sur sa propre survie et la survie de l'espèce, c'est tenter de préserver de la mort la part essentielle de son être. Mais de quel être s'agit-il ? Le moi insaisissable, tantôt glorifié, tantôt haï, le moi sous-tend toute vocation d'écrivain, sans jamais se révéler en entier dans l'écrit ; C'est qu'il appartient aux incertitudes de la vie, dans ses continuités et ses ruptures, ses fidélités et ses palinodies. Comme il est difficile de lui trouver une unité, et plus encore une raison d'être ! La vaste érudition de l'auteur est un guide sûr dans l'immense corpus de la littérature européenne ; sa curiosité, son mordant, son art du questionnement philosophique en font le compagnon hors pair de nos lectures. Amiel et Paul Valéry, Roland Barthes et...
