French-Cuban news editor and memoirist, Angela Anais Juana Antolina Rosa Edelmira Nin y Culmell, better known as 'Anais Nin' for short, found her passion for writing at the age of eleven. By working for decades, she discovered what no other woman at the time was doing. Anais lived a controversial life, writing diaries, short stories, magazines, themes and erotica. Born into an artistic family, it is clear that his creativity exists. Bold and vehement in demeanor, she wrote without hindrance, drawing most of the content of her experience. Her weird love life almost always creates new rumors and shames her in the past. However, unsure of the rumors surrounding her life, she continued to contribute to the literature. Her excellent work, ‘Delta of Venus’ has flawless writing skills freely and in depth. In harmony with his convictions, she always allowed himself to be guided. She had several relationships with famous writers, who wrote about her authenticly in her diary and apparently became the protagonists of her provocative books, in which her most famous longtime boyfriend was with American surrealist, Henry Miller.
