Henry Miller's first novel portrays the bohemian and miserable life of a Paris marked by hardship and chance. Its publication in 1934 caused scandal due to its open treatment of sexuality. Between eroticism and reflection, the author pours out his inner conflicts and turns literary creation into a meditation on the craft of living.

For readers of classic fiction who appreciate works that defied the moral and literary conventions of their time.
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.
