«Trópico de Capricornio» is Henry Miller's autobiographical novel, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (329 pages, in Spanish).
A narrative with a strong personal component, in which Henry Miller pours out his experiences and addresses desire, precariousness, and the construction of the self. Its language is deliberately transgressive and uncompromising, and its gaze on its time is harsh and direct, questioning established morality and the limits of conventional literature.
Originally published in English as 'Tropic of Capricorn' in 1939, this translation by Carlos Manzano was published in 1993 in the Ave Fénix collection.
Intended for readers of twentieth-century classics, autobiographical narrative, and works that broke taboos.
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.
