Description
One of Henry Miller's most scandalous books, Tropic of Capricorn is now in Penguin Modern Classics for the first time
A story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers as much as Henry Miller's first novel, Tropic of Cancer. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars- the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion. As daring, frank and erotic as his first novel, Tropic of Capricorn is a cult modern classic.
