Each of the 13 stories captures a moment of pure desire, in all its complexity and paradoxical simplicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnaïs Nin (1903-77), born in Paris, was the daughter of a Franco-Danish singer and a Cuban pianist. Her first book - a defence of D. H. Lawrence - was published in the 1930s. Her prose poem, \u003ci\u003eHouse of Incest\u003c\/i\u003e (1936) was followed by the collection of three novellas, collected as \u003ci\u003eWinter of Artifice\u003c\/i\u003e (1939). In the 1940s she began to write erotica for an anonymous client, and these pieces are collected in \u003ci\u003eDelta of Venus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLittle Birds\u003c\/i\u003e (both published posthumously). During her later years Anaïs Nin lectured frequently at universities throughout the USA, in 1974 and was elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eLittle Birds\u003c\/i\u003e, you might like Nin''s \u003ci\u003eDelta of Venus\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''One of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of this century''\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309926785406,"sku":"NW9780141183404","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780141183404.jpg?v=1778235589","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/little-birds","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
