Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This unforgettable novel of self-confession is a famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic enjoyment the lewd adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s. Now hailed as an American classic, this masterpiece was banned as obscene in the US for 27 years after its publication in Paris in 1934.

Description in Spanish:

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.
