Anaïs Nin (; born Angela Anaïs Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell, February 21, 1903 – January 14, 1977 ) was a French-Cuban author, based at first in France and later in the United States, who published her journals, which span more than 60 years, beginning when she was 11 years old and ending shortly before her death, her erotic literature, and short stories.

Anaïs Nin was born in Neuilly, France, to artistic parents.

Her father, Joaquín Nin, was a Cuban pianist and composer, when he met her mother Rosa Culmell, who was a classically trained singer in Cuba of French and Danish descent.

Nin left Paris in the late summer of 1939, when residents from overseas were urged to leave France due to the upcoming war and returned to New York City with Guiler ( who was, on his own wish, all but edited out of her diaries published in her lifetime and whose role in her life is therefore difficult to gauge ).

Guiler remained in New York City and was unaware of Nin's second marriage until after her death in 1977, though biographer Deirdre Bair alleges that Guiler knew what was happening while Nin was in California, but consciously " chose not to know ".

Though the marriage was annulled, Nin and Pole continued to live together as if they were married, up until her death in 1977.

Nin was acquainted, often quite intimately, with a number of prominent authors, artists, psychoanalysts, and other figures, and wrote of them often, especially Otto Rank.

They rented the apartment of an American man who was away for the summer, and Nin came across a number of French paperbacks: " One by one, I read these books, which were completely new to me.

That was the end of the long running dispute between the Split and Nin Bishoprics.

In June, 1937 Andrés Nin, the secretary of the anti-Stalinist Marxist POUM, was tortured and killed in an NKVD prison.

This position was contested by Andrés Nin and some other members of the League who did not support the call for a new International.

Nin was transformed by her therapy with Rank.

Ninurta ( Nin Ur: God of War ) in Sumerian and Akkadian mythology was the god of Lagash, identified with Ningirsu with whom he may always have been identical.

Caesar was supported by the urban Liburnian centres, like Iader ( Zadar ), Aenona ( Nin ) and Curicum ( Krk ), while the city of Issa ( Vis ) and the rest of the Liburnians gave their support to Pompey.

By the claiming of the coastal cities of Dalmatia, Tomislav raised the question of sovereignty of the Croatian Diocese of Nin.

While the Croatian-held branch of the Catholic Church in Nin was under Papal jurisdiction, they still used the Slavic liturgy.

After her parents separated, her mother moved Anaïs and her two brothers, Thorvald Nin and Joaquin Nin-Culmell, to Barcelona, and then to New York City.

According to her diaries, Volume One, 1931 – 1934, Nin abandoned formal schooling at the age of sixteen years and later began working as an artist's model.

After being in America for several years, Nin had forgotten how to speak Spanish, but retained her French and became fluent in English.

On March 3, 1923, in Havana, Cuba, Nin married her first husband, Hugh Parker Guiler ( 1898 – 1985 ), a banker and artist, later known as " Ian Hugo " when he became a maker of experimental films in the late 1940s.

The couple moved to Paris the following year, where Guiler pursued his banking career and Nin began to pursue her interest in writing ; in her diaries she also mentions having trained as a flamenco dancer in Paris in the mid-to-late 1920s.

On her second visit to Rank, Nin reflects on her desire to be “ re-born ,” feelingly, as a woman and artist.

During the war, Nin sent her books to Frances Steloff of the Gotham Book Mart in New York for safekeeping.

According to her diaries, Vol. 1, 1931 – 1934, Nin shared a bohemian lifestyle with Henry Miller during her time in Paris.

It has been claimed that this incestuous relationship was encouraged by one of her therapists, who suggested that in retaliation for her father's abandonment of her during her childhood, Anaïs Nin should seduce her father in adulthood and then abandon him.

As early as the 1930s Anaïs Nin had sought to have the diary published.

Occasionally, non-electronic but still classic music videos were aired for the sake of nostalgia within the electronic genre, such as Ofra Haza's music video for " Im Nin ' Alu ," which was sampled by several electronic artists in the early 1990s.

Other names borne by this goddess are Nin-Karrak, Nin Ezen, Ga-tum-dug and Nm-din-dug, the latter signifying " the lady who restores to life ", or the Goddess of Healing.

In Anaïs Nin: An Introduction, authors Duane Schneider and Benjamin Franklin V both argue that the basic theme of House of Incest is that ultimately life in the real world, which contains both pleasure and pain, is preferable to any self-created world that attempts to include only pleasure.

Alfred Perlès ( 1897 – 1990 ) was an Austrian writer ( in later life a British citizen ), who was most famous for his associations with Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, and Anaïs Nin.

Anaïs Nin first began publishing expurgated versions of The Diary of Anaïs Nin in 1966, omitting many details of her personal and love life.

Because of the importance of Nin in the history of Croatia, tourists visit from Croatia and elsewhere in Europe.

The Diary of Anaïs Nin is the published version of Anaïs Nin's own private manuscript diary, which she began at age 11 in 1914 during a trip from Europe to New York with her mother and two brothers.

Nin appeared in the Kenneth Anger film Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome ( 1954 ) as Astarte ; in the Maya Deren film Ritual in Transfigured Time ( 1946 ); and in Bells of Atlantis ( 1952 ), a film directed by Guiler under the name " Ian Hugo " with a soundtrack of electronic music by Louis and Bebe Barron.

In 1966, Nin had her marriage with Pole annulled, due to the legal issues arising from both Guiler and Pole having to claim her as a dependent on their federal tax returns.

Nin often cited authors Djuna Barnes and D. H. Lawrence as inspirations.

Nin once worked at Lawrence R. Maxwell Books located at 45 Christopher Street.

Anaïs Nin is perhaps best remembered as a diarist.

Previously unpublished works are coming to light in A Café in Space, the Anaïs Nin Literary Journal, which most recently includes " Anaïs Nin and Joaquín Nin y Castellanos: Prelude to a Symphony — Letters between a father and daughter.
