Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's masterpiece, was banned as obscene in this country for 27 years after its first publication in Paris in 1943. 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.

Henry Miller is undisputedly one of the most important American writers and Sexus like his other works was banned in English speaking countries for obscenity. It explores work, love and friendship and as with all his work is based on autobiographical experiences- in this book his passionate affair with a dance hall hostess in NY that is recounted in intimately graphic and vivid detail.

Tropic of Capricorn is the sequel to Tropic of Cancer but stands alone as a fascinating account of Miller's early life in 1920's New York. As with the other Tropic it is a landmark masterpiece that was also banned on grounds of obscenity in the US. Henry Miller is undoubtedly one of America's greatest writers of the twentieth century whose contribution to literature and free speech still remain relevant and fascinating.

Banned in America for almost 30 years because of its explicit sexual content, this companion volume to Miller's Tropic of Cancer chronicles his life in 1920s New York City.

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.
