Más información sobre el libro

Under a Glass Bell is a remarkable collection of stories by Anaïs Nin, first published in 1944. Initially deemed unpublishable, Nin persevered and founded her own press to release the first edition, featuring striking black-and-white engravings by her husband, Hugh Guiler. The collection quickly gained attention, particularly from literary critic Edmund Wilson, who reviewed it in The New Yorker, leading to a sell-out of the first printing within three weeks. This edition includes a foreword by Gunther Stuhlmann, which provides historical context and insights into the diary that inspired the stories. Additionally, it features an introduction by modernist scholar Elizabeth Podnieks. The new Swallow Press edition restores the thirteen stories to the order Nin specified for her first commercial edition in 1948, enhancing the reader's experience of her artistic and emotional vision. Nin's work continues to resonate, showcasing her unique voice and the depth of her storytelling.
