Anaïs Nin Libri
21 febbraio 1903 – 14 gennaio 1977
Nata in Francia, romanziera, appassionata erotista e autrice di racconti, che ottenne fama internazionale con i suoi diari. Coprendo gli anni dal 1931 al 1974, narrano il profondo viaggio di autoscoperta e affermazione dell'individualità di una donna. Inizialmente trascurata, raggiunse la notorietà negli anni '60 ed è oggi considerata una delle principali scrittrici del XX secolo. La sua opera è fonte di ispirazione per le donne che sfidano i ruoli di genere definiti convenzionalmente, sostenendo l'idea che l'identità primaria di una donna sia essere umana.
Fazi Tascabili - 66: Collages

Collages explores a world of fantasy and dreams through an eccentric young painter. A radical work in its time (1964), Anais Nin dispensed with normal structural convention and allowed her characters to wander freely in space and time in an attempt to describe life with the disconnected clarity of a dream in which hip and freakish lives intersect or merge. Perhaps reflecting a developing contemporary awareness of abstract art, Collages is a series of impressions rather than a coherent whole, a shifting notebook indelibly inscribed with Nin's humour, invention and unrivalled gift for sensuous description.
Nin continues her debate on 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; Index.
House of Incest

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.
