Shocking, banned & the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller`s first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous & influential books of the twentieth century Tropic of Cancer redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, & artists. Banned in the US & the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France & smuggled into other countries. When it was first published in the US in 1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring & uncompromising, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, & morality. ” At last an unprintable book that is fit to read` Ezra Pound `A momentous event in the history of modern writing”. (Samuel Beckett). ” The book that forever changed the way American literature would be written”. (Erica Jong). Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer (1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), & the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, & Nexus, 1959), all published in France & banned in the US & the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel & made the link between the European avant-garde & the American Beat generation. ...

A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank & influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer. A story of sexual & spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction & autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s & tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer & of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers & the sewers, the lust & the dejection, the smells & the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone & everything. ” Literature begins & ends with the meaning of what Miller has done”. (Lawrence Durrell). ” The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past”. (George Orwell). ` The greatest American writer` Bob Dylan Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century.
