<p><b>Shocking, banned and the subject of obscenity trials, Henry Miller's first novel <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> is one of the most scandalous and influential books of the twentieth century -- new to Penguin Modern Classics with a cover by Tracey Emin</b> <p><i>Tropic of Cancer</i> redefined the novel. Set in Paris in the 1930s, it features a starving American writer who lives a bohemian life among prostitutes, pimps, and artists. Banned in the US and the UK for more than thirty years because it was considered pornographic, <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> continued to be distributed in France and smuggled into other countries. When it was first published in the US in 1961, it led to more than 60 obscenity trials until a historic ruling by the Supreme Court defined it as a work of literature. Long hailed as a truly liberating book, daring and uncompromising, <i>Tropic of Cancer</i> is a cornerstone of modern literature that asks us to reconsider everything we know about art, freedom, and morality. <p>'At last an unprintable book that is fit to read' Ezra Pound <p>'A momentous event in the history of modern writing' Samuel Beckett <p>'The book that forever changed the way American literature would be written' Erica Jong</p>

"Bir kadının bacakları arasında dünyayı unutmak, bir katedralde dua etmekten daha kutsaldır benim için. Ahlak, midesi tok olanların uydurduğu bir masaldır. Biz açız, biz vahşiyiz ve biz dürüstçe mahvoluyoruz."
