- Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell (February 21, 1903 - January 14, 1977) was a French-born American diarist, essayist, novelist, and writer of short stories and erotica. Born to Cuban parents in France, Nin was the daughter of the composer Joaquín Nin and the classically trained singer Rosa Culmell. Nin spent her early years in Spain and Cuba, about sixteen years in Paris (1924-1940), and the remaining half of her life in the United States, where she became an established author.
Nin wrote journals prolifically from age eleven until her death. Her journals, many of which were published during her lifetime, detail her private thoughts and personal relationships. Her journals also describe her marriages to Hugh Parker Guiler and Rupert Pole, in addition to her numerous affairs, including those with psychoanalyst Otto Rank and writer Henry Miller, both of whom profoundly influenced Nin and her writing.
In addition to her journals, Nin wrote several novels, critical studies, essays, short stories, and volumes of erotica. Much of her work, including the collections of erotica Delta of Venus and Little Birds, was published posthumously amid renewed critical interest in her life and work. Nin spent her later life in Los Angeles, California, where she died of cervical cancer in 1977. She was a finalist for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1976.

Anais Nin documentary
1966
Although being an activist anti wars and a feminist, Anais avoided being in no party as a member. Because she didn't believe in ideologies and did not wanted to be manipulated. She thought freedom came from within. She started writing erotic stories, that also made her well known. All time in touch or being part of relevant intellectual circles, she's usually related with Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell and psychoanalyst Otto Rank. Though treated many others, as Gore Vidal, Steinbeck, Edmund Wilson, Artaud, etc. Her affairs and friendships are legendary and you better read her Journals to know about. So, to read her is to know how they were and what they thought, some of the most important highbrows of the twentieth century. And believe me, you couldn't have a better, qualified, witness of such a scenary. Her opinions counted and count a lot, she ain't no matter whom. She could be sharp and deep. Romantic at certain moments, but always touching ground. You will also watch through her wise eyes, the cruel prelude to fascism arising, that was the Spanish Civil War. And then the ghastly WWII. She was psychoanalised and became an Otto Rank assistant, after WWII, once living in New York. A very smart, cultivated and important author, she also fighted against puritanism and its hipocresy. Anais Nin wrote her Diaries or Journals and at least the first three of them, are a capital reading. One of the most clever works I've ever read.
Love what she did. Besides, she lived such an interesting life that the least she could do, was write about it, you may think. The Second and Third volumes were the ones I liked most. But read the first Four ones and as said, it's all an awesome trip around the past century. These are books I've been recommending to everybody, and they all loved them, so I keep doing it here. A capital reading from every point of view. These are books that will make you think and know about many things. 💎❤️🆗👍🙏

Paragraphs would be good here.
So we'll explained
First let me say thank you for starting this channel, and thank you for this documentary. I had just began getting interested in her work when I was drafted for that little conflict in Viet Nam. Needless to say reading was last thing on my list while there and when I came home. Finally getting around to books again and Nin on my list. Again thanks for your channel
Her diaries are great piece of literature, but the way she described the killing of her baby and incest relationship with her father is unbearable...
Jesus…incest with her father?
This struck me blindly, I was simply unaware that people wrote and published diaries. I’m so excited to dive into her work now, as soon as I finish The Age Of Innocence.
I read many of her diaries years ago. They are incredible. She wrote great observations even when she was young. It's strange that she was so good at writing about herself and her personal experience yet she really wasn't very good at pure fiction.
I have read all her fiction. It is wonderful!
I have several of her books. Read a few others. I enjoyed her depth and sincerity. Knew nothing about her or her life. Even more interesting as a person. Thank you for this.
Thanks for this.
This woman wrote so beautifully.
Thank you.

A long time ago a dear friend of mine said my writing reminded her of Anais Nin ... I had never heard of this woman until that moment .
Did it help them get their hand between your legs?
What a great compliment

There is a Paradox here that whilst reading all these volumes of another's life.........one is NOT Living one's own Life........

Great.
📺 good afternoon all 😎 IF anybody out there remember the movie that I pick up at Blockbuster was called Harry and Jane it was the story of Anania east about of life this go back to the 80ths when I watch it
Henry and June
I saw it in the theater when it first came out. It changed my life.
What brilliance and honesty. She is such an influence on women everywhere. I’m a visual artist and poet, she keeps helping me find myself. Her words are like music, clear and bright, this s the first time I’ve heard her talk! Thank you so much. And she was so extremely beautiful!❤️
She was an influence on women everywhere? Really?
ua-cam.com/channels/UxA9d6N_8b7G4IDJuc-olw.html
lmao Only women with no concept of what marriage is or being able to go through life without having lustful relationships with men and trying to romanticize distinction instead of working to correct it.
I love you Anaïs
Would like to have a video on James A. Michener?
I'll do some digging.
If I wanted to read her diaries, I would check out the book at my local library. I like to see photographs, etc.
Here you have the benefit of Anais Nin's personal selection of the passages that capture her thought from the over one hundred volumes. You seem to be one of those Artaud spoke of "[Who] always want to hear 'about' . . . [and not] in the experience itself; the plague itself . . . [you] do not realize [you] are dead"
I saw her in Ann Arbor years ago.
Wow!
How tho, she died in the 70s
Could you do a video on Patricia high Smith please
I would love to know more about her.
great idea
There's a new, German produced documentary on her called "Loving Highsmith". It came out this month. It's not available in the U.S. yet if that's where you are, but keep your eyes open for it, because they interviewed her surviving friends and family. There is one other documentary on her not already on UA-cam. It came out in 2004 on the BBC, and I'll keep my eyes open for that. Highsmith led an interesting life. Good suggestion
@@AuthorDocumentaries Thank you

What happened to Anais Nin in 1941? Her friends had fled to Marseilles and gone underground.
She went back to America and lived in New York

(If you don't know already, your
L. Frank Baum video is blocked,
"unavailable in this country," and
the comments section is
closed.)
Yeah, I caught that. The Smithsonian Channel did not like that one. They said I can show it in every country but ours. I'll see if I can find an alternative. I read "Walking" by the way. Very relatable.
@@AuthorDocumentaries
I don't know anything about how UA-cam works, so I thought you might not know.
Yeah, Thoreau's, "Walking" is a great essay and he was a great walker. I'll have to read it again soon.
@@JCPJCPJCP Ah, well I wasn't aware they would put it in everyone's feed if restrictions were found until you said something, so thank you. Yeah, I liked Thoreau's imagery of the farmland and wilderness and not stressing about life while walking through nature. Great pick 👌
@@AuthorDocumentaries
Walking in nature, especially in the woods, has many beneficial effects, apparently. I hiked in the woods for many years without knowing how much good it was doing for me.
The Japanese have made something of a science out of it.
They call it shinrin-yoku, which translates as "forest-bathing," and they've already integrated it into their health care system.
They're way ahead of us on this, but it's begun to catch on here, first on the west coast. A couple of days ago, CNN carried a story about it.
It's worth looking into.
Thoreau might have been amused.

@@JCPJCPJCP Forest-bathing. Sounds purifying. I would think he would lol. I like it
I loved her movie with Kenneth Anger. That was at her real house.
is that a QR code half a second in???
Never heard her voice before! I expected it to be lower.
Low enough to make your upper thighs quiver?

O dear, an interesting lady, but l cannot listen to her voice for any length of time.
I agree the high pitch and the lisp.. is way too much
ua-cam.com/channels/UxA9d6N_8b7G4IDJuc-olw.html
Yes and I think she seems miserable and striving after that which will never be attained. Chronic dissatisfaction.
Watch this important Documentary: The power brokers you never elected
French accent annoy me.
Creep
The narrator's voice is unbearable, and IMHO, Nin is an overrated, raving narcissist. BTW, her voice is also grating.
