Tropic of Capricorn
A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin<BR><BR>A story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and 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 and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything.<BR><BR>'Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done' Lawrence Durrell <BR><BR>'The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past' George Orwell <BR><BR>'The greatest American writer' Bob Dylan <BR><BR>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), and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.

Tropic of Cancer
Shocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller's first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous and influential books of the twentieth century -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin<BR><BR>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, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France and 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 and uncompromising, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality.<BR><BR>'At last an unprintable book that is fit to read' Ezra Pound <BR><BR>'A momentous event in the history of modern writing' Samuel Beckett <BR><BR>'The book that forever changed the way American literature would be written' Erica Jong

Sexus
Henry Miller’s monumental venture in self-revelation was begun with his Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, which on their American publication were hailed as "miraculous," "superb," "ribald," "brilliant," and "shamelessly shocking." Sexus is the first volume of a series called The Rosy Crucifixion, in which Miller completes his major life work. It was written in the United States during World War II, and first published in Paris in 1949. Of this remarkable project, Lawrence Durrell has said: "The completion of his seven-volume autobiography, if it fulfills the promise of what he has already given us, will put his name amongst the three or four great figures of the age."

Stille Tage in Clichy
Auch in diesem inzwischen weltberühmten und verfilmten Buch zeigt sich der unsterbliche Henry Miller als Prophet und Moralist. Jahrelang musste er auf die Veröffentlichung warten. Denn 'Stille Tage in Clichy' ist nicht, wie der Titel vermuten lassen könnte, eine Idylle im Werk des "obszönsten Schriftstellers der Weltliteratur" (Sir Herbert Read). Doch sei es, dass sich sein Erzähler Joey dem Mädchen Nys nähert, das er im Café trifft, sei es Mara-Marignan, die sich auf dem Champs-Élysées nach ihm umdreht: Joeys Abenteuer sind von erstaunlicher Heiterkeit. Ganz gleich, ob eine Mutter unter dem Gekreisch ihrer Kinder entblößt wird oder ob Joey mit zwei Dirnen in der Badewanne Brot und Wein zu sich nimmt, fast immer sind seine Handlungen von Gelächter begleitet, gehen unter in wilder Ausgelassenheit. Zugleich beschwört Henry Miller das Paris der dreißiger Jahre und seiner Atmosphäre überschäumender Lebenslust.

The Colossus of Maroussi
Like the ancient colossus that stood over the harbor of Rhodes, Henry Miller's The Colossus of Maroussi stands as a seminal classic in travel literature. It has preceded the footsteps of prominent travel writers such as Pico Iyer and Rolf Potts. The book Miller would later cite as his favorite began with a young woman's seductive description of Greece. Miller headed out with his friend Lawrence Durrell to explore the Grecian countryside: a flock of sheep nearly tramples the two as they lie naked on a beach; the Greek poet Katsmbalis, the "colossus" of Miller's book, stirs every rooster within earshot of the Acropolis with his own loud crowing; cold hard-boiled eggs are warmed in a village's single stove, and they stay in hotels that "have seen better days, but which have an aroma of the past."

Der klimatisierte Alptraum
Zehn Jahre lang hatte Henry Miller das Leben im kulturträchtigen Europa genossen, als ihn der drohende Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs zur Rückkehr in die neue Welt zwang. Um sich mit dem Land auszusöhnen, durchreiste er kreuz und quer die USA. Was ihm dabei entgegenschlägt, schildern die neunzehn Episoden dieses Buches: das häßlichste Angesicht der amerikanischen Wirklichkeit, wo im Schatten der Paläste allmächtiger Konzernbosse die Hütten der Armen verfallen.
