Description
Tropic of Cancer, a groundbreaking novel by Henry Miller, redefined the literary landscape of the 20th century. First published in 1961, the book was the subject of over 60 obscenity trials in the US before being hailed as a work of literature by the Supreme Court.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1930s Paris, the novel tells the story of a young American writer living a bohemian life among artists, prostitutes, and pimps. Banned in the US and the UK for over 30 years due to its explicit content, Tropic of Cancer was smuggled into other countries and continued to circulate in France.
Today, this influential book is available once again, featuring a striking cover by Tracey Emin. Its unflinching exploration of art, freedom, and morality has made it a cornerstone of modern literature, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of creativity and expression.
