<div>Henry Miller&rsquo;s famously banned book is &ldquo;a matter-of-fact celebration of chucking one&rsquo;s dreary life and following your heart to Paris&rdquo; (Richard Price). Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller&rsquo;s masterpiece, was banned as obscene in this country for twenty-seven years after its first publication in Paris in 1934. Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller&rsquo;s famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. Tropic of Cancer is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, &ldquo;one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century.&rdquo;</div>

Tropic of Cancer

<div>The &ldquo;uproariously funny&rdquo; second book in the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy, &ldquo;may be Miller&rsquo;s masterpiece&rdquo; (Choice). &ldquo;Plexus is the core volume in The Rosy Crucifixion: the volume which has the most complete description of Henry Miller&rsquo;s basic values, beliefs, opinions, judgments, both at the time of his &lsquo;Crucifixion&rsquo; and at the later time when the trilogy was written. Plexus is simply the most marvelous volume of emotion and ideas and visions and nightmares about man and society in the twentieth century&mdash;with art as the link perhaps, or as the soul&rsquo;s refuge&mdash;that I have read in many a long year. There is absolutely no subject in the world that Henry Miller does not seem to know about, want to talk about, and to evaluate with the deep authority of wisdom. He is probably the most learned of all our American writers, the most open to ideas and feelings, and yes, the most worshipful of all the aspects of life, as well as the most critical literary spokesman of our time.&rdquo; &mdash;Maxwell Geismar</div>

Plexus

<div>A &ldquo;lyrical, impassioned&rdquo; document of the intimate relationship between the two authors that was first disclosed in Henry and June (Booklist). This exchange of letters between the two controversial writers&mdash;Ana&iuml;s Nin, renowned for her candid and personal diaries, and Henry Miller, author of Tropic of Cancer&mdash;paints a portrait of more than two decades in their complex relationship as it moves through periods of passion, friendship, estrangement, and reconciliation. &ldquo;The letters may disturb some with their intimacy, but they will impress others with their fragrant expression of devotion to art.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;A portrait of Miller and Nin more rounded than any previously provided by critics, friends, and biographers.&rdquo; &mdash;Chicago Tribune Edited and with an introduction by Gunther Stuhlmann</div>

A Literate Passion

<div>The acclaimed author of The Tropic of Cancer recounts his 1928 trip to the City of Light and his troubled second marriage in this vivid memoir. Published for the first time in English, Paris 1928 (Nexus II) continues in true Henry Miller fashion the narrative begun in Nexus, the third volume of the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. A rough draft that Miller ultimately abandoned, the story describes Miller’s first wondrous glimpse of Paris and underscores several of the recurrent themes of his work. These previously unpublished memoirs capture Miller’s troubled relationship with his second wife, June; reflections on what he left behind in New York’s sweltering summer of 1927; and the anticipation of all that awaits him in Europe. Paris 1928 presents Miller’s views on Europe on the brink of great changes, counterpointed by his own personal sexual revelry and freedom of choice. Illustrations in this edition are by Australian artist and filmmaker Garry Shead. “This book is an important piece of literary history, offering different perspectives on people and places that Miller wrote about elsewhere.” —James M. Decker</div>

Paris 1928

<div>&ldquo;The first piece of work by a new English writer to give me any hope for the future of prose fiction.&rdquo; &mdash;T. S. Eliot As over-the-top as it is inventive, Durrell&rsquo;s breakthrough novel is a series of sordid vignettes drawn from the lives of decadent artists, doomed bohemians, and continental rascals inhabiting a shabby London hotel, narrated in turns by the unforgettable Lawrence Lucifer and Gregory Death. Together, these characters seek to escape the absurdity of a Europe haunted by devastating war, yet beginning to pitch toward another apocalypse. First published in 1938, and influenced by Henry Miller and the sincere pranksterism of the surrealist movement, The Black Book marks the emergence of one of the most revolutionary voices in twentieth-century English literature. This ebook contains a new introduction by DBC Pierre.</div>
