by Anaïs Nin (Author)
NIN INÉDITA
La mejor introducción a la obra de una autora admirada por lectores y escritores de ayer y de hoy: dieciséis relatos apasionantes
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 escribir estos cuentos, Nin conocerá a Henry Miller, que diría de ella: «Cuando trato de imaginar de quién es deudor tu estilo, me siento frustrado, no recuerdo a nadie con el que tengas el más ligero parecido. Me recuerdas únicamente a ti misma . Melancólicos y punzantes, revelan ya a una gran autora que hizo saltar por los aires las convenciones literarias y sociales de su época. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION (Never Before Published Anaïs Nin)
The best introduction to the work of an author admired by readers and writers of yesteryear and today: sixteen exciting and passionate stories. "Crazy and wise woman. [...] That marginal type of literature that every day seems more beautiful to me." --Julio Cortazar "I'm tired of looking for a philosophy of life that agrees with me and with my world, I want to find a world that agrees with me and with my philosophy of life." Written when she was about twenty-five years old and living in France with her husband, American poet and banker Hugh Parker Guiler, these sixteen stories, never before published in Spanish, amaze by their maturity and freshness, while at the same time starting to display the two elements that would later take hold of her work --irony and feminism-- and also her obsessions: female desire, sexuality, adultery, beauty, and the portrayal of a masculinity as dazzling as it is toxic. Some of these stories clearly have as protagonists some of Nin's alter egos; while others have passionate flamenco dancers, mysterious foreigners, musicians ... Shortly after writing these stories, Nin would meet Henry Miller, who said this about her: "When I try to imagine who you owe credit to for your unique style, I get frustrated, I can't think of anyone with whom you have the slightest resemblance. You only remind me of yourself." Melancholic and intense, these stories reveal a great author who blew up the literary and social standards of her time. "Before Lena Dunham, there was Anaïs Nin." --Sady Doyle, The Guardian
Author Biography
Anaïs Nin nació en París en 1903. Hija de artistas, residió a lo largo de su vida en Cuba, Nueva York, París y Los Ángeles, ciudad en la que falleció en 1977. A los once años empezó a escribir sus diarios, una tarea que no abandonaría jamás, llegando a acumular más de 35.000 páginas manuscritas. Fueron precisamente estos cuadernos, recopilados en varios tomos --dos de los cuales han sido publicados en España con el título Diarios amorosos--, los que la erigieron en un referente absoluto de la narración íntima, o, en palabras de Julio Cortázar, «de esa literatura marginal que cada día me parece más bella». La obra narrativa y ensayística de Anaïs Nin es amplia y poderosa. Entre sus obras destacan Delta de Venus, su novela más célebre, escrita por el encargo de un coleccionista pornógrafo; y los libros de cuentos En una campana de cristal, Pájaros de fuego --cuyo universo se ha adaptado para la serie de televisión Little Birds en 2021-- y La intemporalidad perdida y otros relatos (Lumen, 2021), que escribió entre 1929 y 1930 y había permanecido inédito en castellano hasta ahora. Anaïs Nin fue pionera en el retrato descarnado de la sexualidad de las mujeres del siglo XX, lo que la convirtió en una piedra angular para muchas escritoras que hoy la reivindican como una maestra.
