"American literature today begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done." — Lawrence Durrell "There is nothing like Miller when he gets rolling. . . . One has to take the language back to Marlowe and Shakespeare before encountering a wealth of imagery equal in intensity." —...

"Sexus" er første bind i Henry Millers selvbiografiske trilogi om sit kærligheds- og sexliv, efter han forelsker sig i den mystiske danserinde Mona, som han forlader sin første kone, Maude, for. Bogen er hudløst ærlig og fortæller også, hvordan hans begær for Maude blussede op igen, mens skilsmissen stod på. "The Rosy Crucifixion"-trilogien består af romanerne "Sexus", "Plexus" og "Nexus" og regnes for et af hovedværkerne inden for den erotiske litteratur.

"Questa è la sola storia vera che io abbia raccontato fino adesso," dice Miller nell'epilogo scritto per questo bellissimo racconto. Un'affermazione strana perché si tratta forse della sua unica storia di fantasia pura. Ma Miller chiarisce: "I miei personaggi sono tutti reali, presi dalla vita, dalla mia vita, mentre Augusto è l'unico che nasce dal regno della fantasia. Ma che cos'è questo regno della fantasia che ci circonda e assedia da ogni parte, se non la realtà stessa?".

Some of the most rewarding pages in Henry Miller's books concern his self-education as a writer. He tells, as few great writers ever have, how he set his goals, how he discovered the excitement of using words, how the books he read influenced him, and how he learned to draw on his own experience.

Drawing on previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller has written what critics are calling one of the most powerful accounts of warfare ever published. Here are the horror and heroism of World War II in the words of the men who fought it, the journalists who covered it, and the civilians who were caught in its fury. Miller gives us an up-close, deeply personal view of a war that was more savagely fought - and whose outcome was in greater doubt - than one might imagine. This is the war that Americans on the home front would have read about had they had access to previously censored testimony.

Henry Miller's gifts of profundity, humor, and spiritual sensitivity are well displayed in this collection of insights into the human character. The pieces range from the delightfully raucous to the metaphysically illuminating. The pieces range from the delightfully raucous to the metaphysically illuminating. Included here are mini-portraits of the renowned—Swiss astrologer Conrad Moricand, collage artist Jean Varda, Swiss-French novelist Blaise Cendrars, and American painter Beauford Delaney—as well as the anonymous figures who crossed Miller's path, including his first high school romance…

Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer chronicles the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s with unapologetic gusto, and is now considered, as Norman Mailer said, "one of the ten or twenty great novels of our century." The...

Mentre la guerra si avvicina, Henry Miller si gode l'occasione di fare un viaggio in Grecia, la prima vera vacanza da vent'anni e forse l'ultima almeno per un lungo tempo. Si imbarca da Marsiglia alla volta del Pireo per raggiungere l'amico Lawrence Durrell che si trova a Corfù. Inizia così un'avventura alla scoperta di un mondo stupefacente, mitico, unico, dove gli si rivelano bellezza e miseria di un paese che è ancora un sacro recinto, con ritmi, tempi, riti tutti suoi.

"Stille Tage in Clichy" schildert das Paris der dreißiger Jahre und beschwört eine Atmosphäre unbekümmerter, überschäumender Lebenslust. Miller beschreibt die prickelnde, melancholische Atmosphäre vom Montmartre, den verführerischen Zauber der Boulevards und Plätze, den Sog der kleinen Bars, das Halbdunkel der Seitengassen, den Charme der schäbigen Hotels und Absteigequartiere - jenes Paris, wo der Ich-Erzähler Joey und sein Freund Carl sich ungezwungen den Frauen nähern und trotz bitterer Armut jede Sekunde ihres Lebens genießen.

"Nexus" è il terzo volume del ciclo "La crocifissione rosea", scritto tra il 1949 e il 1960, una trilogia cruciale per l'autore del "Tropico del cancro". I tre libri, inizialmente banditi dalle autorità americane, rappresentano il percorso della cosiddetta "illuminazione spirituale" di Miller attraverso l'arte e il sesso, fino alla sua piena consapevolezza di scrittore.

Scritto nel 1953, "Plexus" è la seconda parte del trittico "La Crocifissione rosea", un'opera scritta da Miller negli anni che vanno dal 1949 al 1960. In questa opera autobiografica Miller racconta gli anni del suo soggiorno newyorkese e del suo incontro con la sua seconda futura moglie (nel romanzo tratteggiata con il nome di Mona). Tema costante nell'audiolibro è la vocazione artistica del giovane scrittore, che da Mona viene incoraggiato con forza a scrivere, inducendolo a rifiutare ogni impiego fisso.

Una morte sconvolgente, ossessivamente annunciata, preparata con implacabile meticolosità e infine celebrata dinanzi al mondo come un rituale spettacolare e tragico. L'uscita di scena di Mishima ha rappresentato al tempo stesso l'apoteosi del personaggio, condannato da un demone inquieto a una vita perennemente sopra le righe, e la parola conclusiva dello scrittore, la sigla di un'opera in cui gioventù, bellezza e morte appaiono intrecciate in un destino ineluttabile.

"Nur eins interessiert mich wesentlich, nämlich alles das aufzuzeichnen, was in Büchern weggelassen wird." Dieser Satz von Henry Miller bringt auf den Punkt, wofür sein Roman Wendekreis des Krebses steht: die tabulose Dokumentation menschlicher Sexualität. Autobiografisch angelegt, beschreibt der amerikanische Schriftsteller, wie er in den 1930er-Jahren in Paris lebte: mittellos, freizügig, glücklich.

In his great triptych The Millennium, Bosch used oranges and other fruits to symbolize the delights of Paradise. Whence Henry Miller's title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Miller's life on the Big Sur, a section of the California coast where he lived for 15 years. Big Sur is the portrait of a place - one of the most colorful in the United States - and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there.

Henry Miller's Nexus was censored fifty years ago, while Miller and his publishers fought for freedom of speech. Nexus II was never published, and looks at his first trip to Paris and Europe in 1928, a world on the edge of the Great Depression. Paris 1928 collates these unpublished memoirs as Henry Miller wished, together with the censored pages from Nexus.
