1939110655Paris: Obelisk Press 1939. First edition one of only 1000 copies printed in Paris to avoid obscenity laws in the United States. Octavo original red and white wrappers. Association copy inscribed by the author in the year of publication on the front free endpaper "To Henry Church with best wishes Henry Miller 5/5/39." Henry Church and his wife Barbara were patrons of the arts in 1930s-40s France and were friends with many of the important writers of the era. In near fine condition with light rubbing to the fragile wrappers. With first issue price of 60 francs printed on the spine. With errata slip often not found tipped to title page. Rare and desirable signed and inscribed example of this cornerstone of modern literature. Tropic of Capricorn with its focus on on Henry Miller's Brooklyn youth concludes his famed autobiographical trilogy--following Tropic of Cancer 1934 and Black Spring 1936. Once hailed by Norman Mailer as "the last great American pioneer" Miller sparked much controversy over the novel's explicit descriptions of sexual encounters. "Although his two most important works Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn were published in Paris in the 1930s because of their heavy sexual content they were not published in the United States until the early 1960s when Miller's work became the leading battlefield in the war over 'pornographic' literature" Hoffman 108. Listed by Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. Obelisk Press unknown books

19394280Paris: The Obelisk Press 1939. First edition. Fine. Second issue with all prices cancelled. A Fine bright example of this controversial title completely unopened. Complete with the errata slip tipped in before the title page. <br/><br/>Henry Miller's controversial and exuberant account of his time in New York City working for the aptly named Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company. The book was published in France in 1939 by Obelisk Press and like Tropic of Cancer before it was banned in the United States. However Miller's books would be smuggled in and he established a considerable underground reputation before 1961 when the ban was lifted. Many significant writers have been fans of Miller including Lawrence Durrell - who also counted him as a close friend - and George Orwell who said Miller was "the only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past." Like much of Miller's work the book draws strongly and literally on his own life experience and is semi-autobiographical. "The pace and jagged pattern of the action offer a superb entertainment that brings in as it goes jeremiads casual lyrics and sudden reaches toward the spiritual core of life" New York Times Review. Fine. The Obelisk Press unknown books
