Author(s): Henry Miller

Classics

Exposing the underbelly of Paris and its world of sex, prostitutes and destitution, the novel was, like most of Miller's novels, repressed in Britain and the USA due to its erotic content. Fortunately, this groundbreaking narrative, which captures the free-love spirit of a generation, has outlived its contemporary accusations of obscenity, demonstrating that stylistically and socially Henry Miller was ahead of his time.
