Book description
A na ve model slowly discovering her sexuality; an erotic moonlight
encounter on a beach; a man teaching the art of passion in a gypsy
caravan; and a woman in love with a scent from Fez - Ana s Nin's
stories explore the nature of sex and the awakening of desire.
United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series
span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will
be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and
extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love,
virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic
love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted
and obsessional love.
Anais Nin (1903-1977) was a French-born author of Catalan, Cuban and
Danish descent. She became famous for her erotica, as well as for her
published diaries, which span more than sixty years, beginning when she
was eleven years old and ending shortly before her death.
