«Trópico de Cáncer» is Henry Miller's semi-autobiographical novel, published by Seix Barral in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
The novel, autobiographical in tone, follows a penniless writer wandering through 1930s Paris among boarding houses, cafés, and sexual encounters. The narrative offers a stark look at poverty and bohemian life, questions bourgeois morality and puritanism, and turns survival into a raw and provocative literary experience.
Trópico de Cáncer was originally published in Paris in 1934; this 1984 edition belongs to the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea collection.
For readers who value transgressive autobiographical narrative and contemporary literary classics.
Mark Rowlands is a Welsh writer and philosopher. He is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Miami, and the author of several books on the philosophy of mind, the moral status of non-human animals, and cultural criticism. He is known within academic philosophy for his work on the animal mind and is one of the principal architects of the view known as vehicle externalism, or the extended mind, the view that thoughts, memories, desires and beliefs can be stored outside the brain and the skull. His works include Animal Rights (1998), The Body in Mind (1999), The Nature of Consciousness (2001), Animals Like Us (2002), and a personal memoir, The Philosopher and the Wolf (2008).
