Odabrana djela Henryja Millera

The Selected Works of Henry Miller book set on offer includes the most important and influential works of this unique American writer, whose autobiographical oeuvre largely escapes standard classifications and represents the foundations of modern literary subversion.

The set consists of the monumental trilogy The Pink Crucifixion, consisting of the novels Sexus, Plexus and Nexus, in which the author, through a somewhat calmer tone than in his Parisian works, sublimates an uncompromising rebellion against the dull, petty-bourgeois and hypocritical American reality of the mid-20th century. Through these pages, Miller dissects his own life, marriages, artistic dilemmas and the search for truth in a world of alienation.

In addition to the trilogy, the set also brings anthological works that have marked world literature, caused numerous controversies and long-standing court bans in the United States. There is the famous Tropic of Cancer, an uncompromising literary eruption and slander of traditional morality, then Tropic of Capricorn, which skillfully combines memories of Parisian bohemia with recollections of a New York childhood and profound philosophical observations, and the volume Black Spring / The World of Sex, which combines brilliant essays, poetic short stories and provocative reflections on the nature of desire.

Miller's entire work, imbued with naked honesty, joy of life, criticism of industrialized society and unbridled erotic charge, left a decisive and lasting influence on generations of Beat writers such as Jack Kerouac, Norman Mailer and Allen Ginsberg, making this antiquarian set an invaluable addition to any serious home library.
