Anais Nin's Lost World: Paris in Words and Pictures 1924-1939

Few writers are as legendary as AnaÃ¯s Nin. Her diaries, both expurgated and unexpurgated, and a host of biographies have documented her life in an almost unprecedented way, yet she remains shrouded in mystery. Who is the woman behind the myth?

AnaÃ¯s Ninâ€™s Lost World depicts Ninâ€™s life from the perspective of her surroundings during the most important era in her lifeâ€”her Paris years, from 1924 to 1939, when she met Henry Miller and came into her own as a writer and as a sensual woman. This book gives us a vivid picture of Ninâ€™s turbulent life in the 1920s and 1930s. Not only was her emotional life chaotic, but she and her husband Hugh Guiler moved several times during their stay in France. AnaÃ¯s Nin created many homes in Paris, but she found sumptuous peace in her house in Louveciennes, which Miller dubbed â€œthe laboratory of the soul.â€

In AnaÃ¯s Ninâ€™s Lost World, Britt Arenander allows us to follow in Ninâ€™s and Millerâ€™s footsteps. She has brilliantly woven text and photographs into a tapestry of the Paris that Nin and Miller came to love so much.

The bookâ€™s unique artwork, including vintage postcards, rare and recent photographs, and an interactive map, depicts a Paris that has disappeared and yet lives on in its buildings, streets, and neighborhoods.
