Miller recounts his trip to Greece in 1940, before returning to the United States, and the experiences and reflections that the landscape and its people inspired in him; against modern life, dehumanized and destructive of vital instincts, he contrasts Greek civilization and champions authenticity, light, and friendship.
The work, dated 1941, bears the original title The Colossus of Maroussi.
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
