SYNOPSIS
Shocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller's first novel Tropic of Cancer is one of the most scandalous and influential books of the twentieth century -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin
Tropic of Cancer redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, Tropic of Cancer continued to be distributed in France and smuggled into other countries. When it was first published in the US in 1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring and uncompromising, Tropic of Cancer is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality.
'At last an unprintable book that is fit to read' Ezra Pound

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Henry Miller
Henry Miller nasceu em Brooklyn, nos Estados Unidos da América, a 26 de dezembro de 1891. Em 1930, respondendo a um espírito aventureiro e ao desejo de se dedicar à escrita, partiu para a Europa e fixou-se em Paris. Foi aí que, em 1934, publicou o seu primeiro romance autobiográfico, Trópico de Câncer, a que se seguiu, em 1939, Trópico de Capricórnio, ambos banidos durante quase três décadas nos Estados Unidos. Em 1942, pouco depois de se instalar definitivamente na Califórnia, iniciou a redação da trilogia Rosa-Crucificação, Sexus, Plexus, Nexus, considerada uma das suas obras maiores, onde conjuga reflexão metafísica com um erotismo explícito. Miller foi um dos mais marcantes autores americanos do século xx, cuja insubmissão, quer na vida, quer na literatura, viria a influenciar fortemente a chamada beat generation. Faleceu em casa a 7 de junho de 1980.
