Trópico de Cáncer / Tropic of Cancer (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
Publicada en Francia en 1934 y prohibida en Estados Unidos hasta 1962, Trópico de Cáncer, primera novela de Henry Miller, nos transporta al París de enterguerras. Escrita en clave autobiográfica y partiendo del convencimiento de que la razón nos está llevando a la catástrofe, Miller propone una emancipación del cuerpo a través de la filosofía de la inmediatez, del placer y del erotismo, del abandono, la irresponsabilidad y otros contravalores sociales. Desvergonzado e insaciable al enfrentar el sexo -casi siempre torrencial y azaroso-, y vehemente cuando se trata de cultivar sus pasiones - amistad, amor, lealtad-, Miller hace sentir descarnadamente el carácter fútil y contradictorio de la existencia humana. Su novela dinamitó los credos y convenciones de la época, provocando un escándalo que durante décadas veló su calidad de clásico, hoy unánimemente reconocida.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONHenry Miller’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’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, "one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century."
