Henry Miller Libros

Motivado por los diarios de Anaïs Nin, entonces inéditos, Henry Miller escribe su primera novela, que sería publicada en París en 1934, y en 1961 en los Estados Unidos, con más de sesenta juicios a propósito de su legalización. Trópico de Cáncer embiste contra el puritanismo y la moral burguesa y estremece desde la primera página: "Aquí estamos todos solos y muertos".

Trópico de Capricornio es una novela semi-autobiográfica del escritor estadounidense Henry Miller, publicada en París en 1938. Se trata de una secuela de Trópico de Cáncer, de 1934. Ambientada en la Nueva York de la década de 1920, la novela es la historia del despertar espiritual de su protagonista y narrador, Henry V. Miller, empleado de la división de personal de la compañía telegráfica «Cosmodemonic». Gran parte de la trama gira alrededor de sus años conflictivos con su mujer June Miller, y el proceso de encontrar su voz como escritor. No obstante, aunque las experiencias de su alter ego narrador, con el que comparte el nombre, son muy cercanas a las que pudo tener el propio Miller cuando trabajó para la compañía telegráfica Western Union, la novela se considera una obra de ficción. Trópico de Capricornio estuvo prohibida en Estados Unidos hasta que el Departamento de Justicia en vigor declaró que su contenido no era obsceno.

Big Sur is the portrait of a place--one of the most colorful in the U.S.--and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (& writers who didn't write), mystics seeking truth in meditation (& the not-so-saintly looking for sex-cults or celebrity), sophisticated children & adult innocents; geniuses, cranks & the unclassifiable. Henry Miller writes with a buoyancy & brimming energy that are infectious. He has a fine touch for comedy. But this is also a serious book--the testament of a free spirit who has broken through the restraints & cliches of modern life to find within himself his own kind of paradise.

The first novel of Miller's frank, autobiographical trilogy uses dream, fantasy, and burlesque to portray the life of a struggling writer in pre-World War I New York.

The social function of the creative personality is a recurrent theme with Henry Miller, and this book is perhaps his most poignant and concentrated analysis of the artist's dilemma.
