Description

Anaïs Nin (pronounced /IPA: [ana'i�s nin]/ "ana-EESE neen") (February 21 1903 - January 14 1977) was a French-born author of Spanish, Cuban, and Danish descent who became famous for her published journals, which span more than sixty years, beginning when she was eleven years old and ending shortly before her death. Anaïs is also famous for her erotica, which not only proves sensual, but also acts as a study of sexuality in its perfection and flaws. <p>Her first husband was Hugh Guiler, a banker and artist, whom she married as a young woman in the 1920s. Rupert Pole, whom she married in 1955 while still married to Guiler, was a forester and the step-grandson of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After the death of Hugh Guiler in 1985, the unexpurgated versions of her journals were commissioned by Rupert Pole. [1]<p>Anaïs Nin was born in Neuilly, France. After her parents separated, her mother moved Anaïs and her two brothers, Thorvald Nin and Joaquin Nin-Culmell from Barcelona to New York City...
