«Trópico de Cáncer» is Henry Miller's semi-autobiographical novel, published by Bruguera in paperback (347 pages, in Spanish).
A semi-autobiographical novel that recreates Henry Miller's experiences in Paris in the 1930s, where he ekes out a living as a writer in a poor, bohemian environment. With direct, provocative prose, it portrays sexuality, need, and freedom without restraint, turning confession into a stark portrait of the human condition.
This Bruguera edition includes the translation by Carlos Manzano. The work was originally published in 1934 in Paris.
The work may appeal to readers of autobiographical fiction seeking a direct and provocative literary voice.
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.
