Title: Tropic of Cancer Pdf

2015 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "Tropic of Cancer" has been described as "notorious for its candid sexuality" and as responsible for the "free speech that we now take for granted in literature". It was first published in 1934 by the Obelisk Press in Paris, France, but this edition was banned in the United States. Its re-publication in 1961 in the U.S. by Grove Press led to obscenity trials that tested American laws on pornography in the early 1960s. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the book non-obscene. It is regarded as an important work of 20th-century literature. The Modern Library considers it one of the best 100 Novels ever published.

Miller's best He is almost more figure than writer, but in Tropic of Capricorn, we see why George Orwell thought "Tropic of Cancer" such a significant book. In almost refusing to be "literature" it loses that battle. Luck for us.Overall state of book! Book was in poor shape, pages okay but it was very "smelly"!Threw it out and ordered it on Kindle.A MASSIVE WASTE OF TIME Having, for the past 63 years, regarded this book as a victim of prissy, uptight, Victorian-style censorship . . . I was stunned when I finally read it this summer and discovered that (in my opinion and my grown son's opinion) it is nothing but truly disgusting filth, wrapped in a cheap veneer of embarrassingly pretentious, totally sophomoric-sounding pseudo-philosophy that would quickly earn a "D" in any college philosophy class.I think porn is healthy and totally harmless, and I think we need a lot more really good porn.. But this garbage isn't porn. There's not a single erotic or sexually arousing sentence in the whole book. It just wallows in disgusting -- often nauseating -- filth, purely for the sake of filth. I mean "filth" as in dirty toilets and dung . . . NOT sex..My grown son is definitely no prude. But he put it this way: "It reads like an adolescent just using a lot of dirty words, purely for the sake of using dirty words." Most of us outgrew that childish urge at age 20. No, it should never have been censored -- not EVER!!!. If people really want to wallow in filth, they ought to be perfectly free to do so. But we can get that for free on the walls of the nearest latrine. Most of us have a lot better uses for our time.You couldn't possibly pay me enough to waste my time reading this garbage again.
