Synopsis
Now famed for her extraordinary volumes of erotica, Anais Nin originally made her reputation with a collection of lyrical novels known as the Cities of the Interior series. Published in the aftermath of the Second World War, they were concieved by Nin as part of a 'roman fleuve', or continuous experience. LADDERS TO FIRE in 1946 was the first. This poetic, sensual novel focuses on the lives of a group of women as they undergo a period of emotional and sexual development. They record their experiences as they struggle to understand both themselves and each other. As with most of Nin's novels, LADDERS TO FIRE draws its inspiration from her confessional diaries begun in 1914 at the age of eleven. It dates from the period when Anais Nin moved to New York, a time also explored in the film Henry and June.

À propos de l'auteur
ANAIS NIN was born in Paris in 1903 and moved to the USA at the age of eleven. She returned to Paris a decade later and studied psychoanalysis. Her first book was published in the 1930s and she went on to write stories and a series of autobiographical novels (including COLLAGES, A SPY IN THE HOUSE OF LOVE and UNDER A GLASS BELL) and her celebrated volumes of erotica, THE DELTA OF VENUS and LITTLE BIRDS. Perhaps best known for her JOURNALS, which were published by Peter Owen and established her reputation, her personal life and loves have attracted considerable attention - partly through her association with Henry Miller and his wife but also because for a number of years she was married to two men at the same time, with neither finding out until after her death in 1977.
