Nota wydawnicza: Journal of a Wife The Early Diary of Anais Nin 1923-1927
Nin is a fascinating and complex character… She writes about subterfuge, anticipation and despair better than anybody — Sunday Times
Anas Nin achieved international recognition with the publication of her Journals, begun in 1931 and spannning over forty years. Her Journal of a Wife is a record of the years from 1923 to 1927 and covers the early part of her marriage to Hugh Guiler, beginning with their eventful stay in New York. Before long they had moved to Paris, a place that was to have a profound effect upon her.
For Nin it was a struggle towards maturity and self-knowledge, gradually overcoming what she saw as her puritan instincts. French culture was both shocking and stimulating to her. And at home with her husband, although she enjoyed aspects of domesticity, she was to chafe at the restrictions it placed upon the growth of her mind and spirit. Alternately tormented and comforted by the powers of her intuitive imagination, she was forever battling towards her ideal of experiencing — and expressing — life at its fullest.
