DELTA OF VENUS NIN - Nin Anais - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
Anaïs Nin's "Delta of Venus," much like the impactful "Fifty Shades of Grey" in our time, is a revolutionary collection of erotic tales that holds a significant place in literature. First introduced to readers by Penguin Modern Classics, this anthology takes its readers on a mesmerizing journey through intricate and vivid sexual narratives. Nin, with her distinctive 'language of the senses,' breaks away from the traditionally male perspectives on eroticism, offering fresh insights through her uniquely feminine lens. Her passionate and lively writing captures the essence of female sexual autonomy in a world where only love truly resonates.This edition provides a deeper understanding of the collection's origins through a preface derived from Anaïs Nin's diary, where she articulates the creative processes behind her work. Additionally, a postscript elaborates on her intent to articulate sexual experiences from a woman’s vantage point, employing what she describes as 'women's language.'Born in Paris in 1903, Anaïs Nin was of varied heritage, with a Franco-Danish singer for a mother and a Cuban pianist for a father. She debuted with a defense of D. H. Lawrence in the 1930s, followed by the prose poem "House of Incest" in 1936. Her subsequent work, "Winter of Artifice," is a compilation of three novellas released in 1939. Nin ventured into writing erotica during the 1940s for an anonymous patron, resulting in "Delta of Venus" and "Little Birds," both published after her passing. Later in life, Anaïs Nin shared her insights through lectures across American universities, and in 1974, she was inducted into the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters.For those captivated by "Delta of Venus," Stephen Vizinczey's "In Praise of Older Women" is another compelling read, also available in the Penguin Modern Classics series. The New York Times Book Review praises Nin for her ability to captivate and stimulate readers, bringing forth an artistry and daring that confronts life head-on.
