MIRAGES: THE UNEXPURGATED DIARY OF ANAIS NIN, 1939–1947

Book ID/图书代码： 12873513B65374

English Summary/英文概要： Mirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anaïs Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be “the One,” the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection. In the middle looms a period Nin describes as “hell,” during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness, a delirium that fuels her search for love. As a child suffering abandonment by her father, Anaïs wrote, “Close your eyes to the ugly things,” and, against a horrifying backdrop of war and death, Nin combats the world’s darkness with her own search for light.

Mirages collects, for the first time, the story that was cut from all of Nin’s other published diaries, particularly volumes 3 and 4 of The Diary of Anaïs Nin, which cover the same time period. It is the long-awaited successor to the previous unexpurgated diaries Henry and June, Incest, Fire, and Nearer the Moon. Mirages answers the questions Nin readers have been asking for decades: What led to the demise of Nin’s love affair with Henry Miller? Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nin’s “children,” the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? Mirages is a deeply personal story of heartbreak, despair, desperation, carnage, and deep mourning, but it is also one of courage, persistence, evolution, and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《幻影》揭开了第二次世界大战的曙光，当时阿娜伊斯•宁逃到了巴黎，她和银行家丈夫休米•吉勒在那里生活了15年，直到1947年她遇到了“唯一”，一个能满足她永不满足的渴望的情人，在巴黎的生活结束了。这中间的一段时期，宁描述为“地狱”，在此期间，她经历了一种情色疯狂和精神错乱，燃烧了她对爱的寻找。还是一个孩子时就经历了被父亲抛弃的痛苦，阿娜伊斯写道“在丑陋的东西面前闭上你的眼睛”，以及在反对战争和死亡的可怕大背景下，宁对抗世界的黑暗独自寻找着光明。

《幻影》里的故事节选自阿娜伊斯•宁其他已出版的日记， 特别是她日记的第三卷和第四卷，覆盖了同一时期。这是期待已久的先前未删减日记《情迷六月》，《乱伦》，《消防》，《靠近月球》的后续。《幻影》回答了宁的读者问了几十年的问题：是什么导致了阿娜伊斯与亨利•米勒恋情的消失？她和休米•吉勒的婚姻究竟多混乱？宁的“孩子”，一个柔弱男子的背后有什么故事？《幻影》是非常个人化的故事，它包含了心碎，绝望，无奈，大屠杀和深哀悼，但它也有勇气，毅力，进化和救赎，超越了个人的普遍性。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：“读者会发现宁是一个最有趣的同伴—— 她与多个男人同时发生关系，她对性行为欢快的描述…在一个后期记载中，宁委婉地抱怨：我的世界是如此之大，我迷失在其中；读者也将面临同样情景——并感激这一切。”—— 柯克斯评论

“有时候她会感到绝望和想自杀，宁发现当生活符合她的梦想时会更加充实——她幻想出一系列幻影来逃避现实、战争的恐怖，以及一个她发现极度不成熟的美国人……宁的读者将会拥抱本书的情感强度和性感……”——出版家周刊

“由美国小说家以及短篇故事和情色作家宁（《乱伦之家》，《情迷维纳斯》）所写的一系列未删减日记册的第五本，覆盖的时期比至今出版的其他任何日记都要长。宁的生命沉浸在保密，谎言，激情，渴望和内省中，或许这段时期是最严重的。这是迄今为止最完整的日记，它最大程度的全面披露了宁的生活，更加揭示了宁的脆弱和残忍以及她的特点，来更丰富地阅读她的作品。”——图书馆杂志

“一系列未删减日记册的第五本正逐渐取代宁早期著名的净化版日记，记录了从她1939在战争的阴影下从巴黎飞到纽约，并追踪她挣扎着适应美国和重新设定写作生活的故事。宁——深谋远虑、戏剧化、非凡——提供了对创伤的不同见解，这使她成为“恶魔的强度”并决定把她的生活变成独特的心理启示文学作品。”——书目

Anaïs Nin (1903–1977) was one of the most unique literary figures of the twentieth century. As a novelist she was distinctly catalytic, and her life-long diary resembles no other in the history of letters. Her books have been translated in a dozen languages.

Anaïs Nin was born in Paris in 1903. At age eleven, she began her lifelong practice of keeping a diary, the literary form that would make her famous. She moved to the United States during her youth but returned to France after her marriage to Hugh P. Guiler. During her time in France she met the writer Henry Miller, who became her lover and an important figure in her first published diary. In Paris during the 1930s she also began therapy with Otto Rank, a disciple of Sigmund Freud, and this therapeutic relationship was a significant influence on her life and work.

Nin returned to America in 1939, establishing friendships with a number of writers and artists. She developed a small but devoted following as a fiction writer, though her work often defied genre conventions and became known for its innovation and experimentation. But it was the publication of her diaries, spread over many volumes, that made Nin a major literary figure in the late 1960s and 1970s. Deeply reflective, lyrical, and erotic, the diaries were embraced by numerous readers for their insight into a fascinating woman and the many relationships she developed over her lifetime.
