In them are many sources of the more mature work that collectors and growing writers can appreciate.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWritten when Anaïs Nin was in her twenties and living in Louveciennes, France, these stories contain many elements that will delight her readers: details remembered from childhood, of life in Paris, the cafés, theatres; characters including dancers, artists, writers, women who devote themselves to their work and visions as well as romance, strangers met in the night; themes such as the scruples of lovers, the search for brilliant, imaginative living; the writer’s experimentation with exotic words like “sybaritic” and “violaceous”. In the craft of these stories readers are treated to a deft sense of humor, ironic wit, much conversation as well as ecstatic prose, and surprise endings. Throughout all, the Nin personality shines, a wonderful mixture of feeling and rationality, of vulnerability and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Anaïs Nin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53615962587516,"sku":"9780804009812","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780804009812_4cc1dd51-98a6-479f-b60b-ee1652ca4023.jpg?v=1727080931","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/waste-of-timelessness-and-other-early-stories-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
