Tropic of Cancer (Penguin Modern Classics)
$13.84
Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer,” now part of Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin, is a groundbreaking novel set in 1930s Paris. It follows a starving American writer immersed in a bohemian lifestyle among prostitutes and artists. Initially banned in the US and UK for over thirty years due to its perceived obscenity, it was still circulated in France. Its 1961 US publication triggered over 60 obscenity trials, culminating in a Supreme Court ruling that recognized it as literature. Celebrated for its daring exploration of art, freedom, and morality, “Tropic of Cancer” remains a pivotal work in modern literature.
