Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller's masterpiece, was banned as obscene in the US for 27 years after its publication in Paris in 1934. Only a historic court ruling that changed American censorship standards permitted the publication of this first volume of Miller's famed mixture of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto the bawdy adventures of a young expatriate writer, his friends, and the characters they meet in Paris in the 1930s.

Henry Miller's books "Tropic of Cancer" and "Tropic of Capricorn" put him on the literary map. They were banned in his native US, on the grounds of obscenity. Fans of his books would smuggle them into the states which built his "underground" reputation.
