«Trópico de Capricornio» is Henry Miller's autobiographical novel, published by Bruguera in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
The novel, autobiographical in nature, recounts Henry Miller's experiences in Paris in the 1930s. Its explicit sexual content and provocative language caused scandal; the work still retains the power to outrage, move, and amuse.
Originally published in 1939, this 1985 Spanish edition features a translation by Carlos Manzano.
Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blends character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961. He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism and painted watercolors.
