Miller, Henry [Valentine] The Wisdom of the Heart ND # 94 Norfolk, Connecticut New Directions 1960 Second Printing Mass Market Paperback Very Good No Jacket ND Paperback # 94 "Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 - June 7, 1980) was an American novelist and painter. He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of 'novel' that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer (1934), Black Spring (1936), and Tropic of Capricorn (1939). He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis." WIkipedia Very good white pictorial paperback. Light cover wear, previous owner name blacked out. 250pp. Price:

Miller, Henry [Valentine] Tropic of Cancer OBELISK TRILOGY SERIES # 1 New York Grove Press, Inc. 1961 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good (The first book in the Obelisk Trilogy series) "Miller's groundbreaking first novel, banned in Britain for almost thirty years...A penniless and as yet unpublished writer, Henry Miller arrived in Paris in 1930. Leaving behind a disintegrating marriage and an unhappy career in America, he threw himself into the low-life of bohemian Paris with unwavering gusto. A fictional account of Miller's adventures amongst the prostitutes and pimps, the penniless painters and writers of Montparnasse, Tropic of Cancer is an extravagant and rhapsodic hymn to a world of unrivalled eroticism and freedom. Tropic of Cancer's 1934 publication in France was hailed by Samuel Beckett as 'a momentous event in the history of modern writing'. The novel was subsequently banned in the UK and the USA and not released for publication for a further thirty years. " FantasticFiction Introduction by Karl Shapiro. Preface by Anais Nin.
