Книга: Tropic of Cancer (Тропик Рака)

Millers groundbreaking first novel, banned in Britain for almost thirty years, now reinvigorated in a new Harper Perennial Modern Classics edition. A penniless and as yet unpublished writer, Henry Miller arrived in Paris in 1930. Leaving behind a disintegrating marriage and an unhappy career in America, he threw himself into the low-life of bohemian Paris with unwavering gusto. A fictional account of Millers adventures amongst the prostitutes and pimps, the penniless painters and writers of Montparnasse, Tropic of Cancer is an extravagant and rhapsodic hymn to a world of unrivalled eroticism and freedom. Tropic of Cancers 1934 publication in France was hailed by Samuel Beckett as a momentous event in the history of modern writing. The novel was subsequently banned in the UK and the USA and not released for publication for a further thirty years.
