73,95 kr. "Kære mr. Miller,Jeg har netop læst "Krebsens vendekreds" igen og synes, jeg vil skrive et par ord om den til Dem. Det forekommer mig, at det er det eneste ordentlige værk, som dette århundrede kan prale af. Den er en kæmpemæssig sejr lige fra begyndelsen, og ikke blot er den en litterær og kunstnerisk fanfare for enhver, men den får virkelig fanget vor tids blod og indvolde ind på papiret."Da Lawrence Durrell som 23-årig skrev et fanbrev til den 20 år ældre amerikanske forfatter Henry Miller, havde den unge englænder, der dengang boede på Korfu med sin familie, næppe regnet med, at det ville føre til et livslangt venskab mellem to beslægtede ånder. Gennem deres årelange korrespondance lærer vi dem hver især at kende som forfattere, som mennesker og som venner, og vi kommer til at forstå deres liv og litteratur på en ny måde.Henry Miller (1891-1980) var en kontroversiel amerikansk forfatter, hvis erotiske romaner udfordrede samtidens pornografilove og medførte heftige diskussioner.

64,95 kr. "Astrologisk fricassé og andre historier" består af fem af Henry Millers bedste noveller og essays. Vi kender Henry Miller som en samfundsrevser og en kompromisløs skildrer af den menneskelige natur med alt det gode, smukke, grimme og erotiske, den indeholder. I fortællingerne går han blandt andet til angreb på samtidens pseudookkultisme, han beskriver sit forhold til en ung parisisk gadepige, og han raser mod de aspekter af den amerikanske samfundsånd, som han hele sit liv nægtede at acceptere.Henry Miller (1891-1980) var en kontroversiel amerikansk forfatter, hvis erotiske romaner udfordrede samtidens pornografilove og medførte heftige diskussioner.

73,95 kr. "Når jeg nu atter læser disse tekster, slår det mig stærkt, at selv om mit livssyn – min filosofi, om man vil – har ændret sig noget, siden jeg skrev "Krebsens vendekreds", har mine synspunkter vedrørende samfundet ikke gjort det. Jeg har en anelse om, at de, der ikke kan tåle "Krebsens vendekreds", heller ikke vil være i stand til at tage nærværende bog. De tanker, der fremlægges i den, vil nok vise sig lige så ubehagelige for den sarte som beretningen om mine forargelige eventyr i gamle dage i Paris."I Henry Millers "Åbne breve til alle og enhver" ser vi en anden side af den store forfatter og boheme end i hans romaner. Vi ser ham kæmpe frygtløst og nådesløst for de undertrykte og de miskendte, vi mærker hans store kærlighed til menneskeheden, hans foragt for penge og grådighed, skuffelsen over fædrelandet, USA, og kærligheden til hans hjertets sande hjem, Europa.Henry Miller (1891-1980) var en kontroversiel amerikansk forfatter, hvis erotiske romaner udfordrede samtidens pornografilove og medførte heftige diskussioner.

64,95 kr. Henry Millers selvbiografiske roman "Kolossen fra Maroussi" fortæller om hans ophold på Korfu i Grækenland i 1939. På invitation fra sin gode ven den britiske forfatter Lawrence Durrell rejste Henry Miller til den græske ø, og hans beskrivelse af sine oplevelser, landskabet og ikke mindst digteren Katsimbalis udgør til sammen et af hans bedste værker."Kolossen fra Maroussi" er skrevet, efter Henry Miller meget mod sin vilje var rejst tilbage til USA, efter Anden Verdenskrig lagde sin tunge næve over hele det europæiske kontinent.

Henry Millers selvbiografiske roman "Stenbukkens vendekreds" springer rundt i forfatterens liv og fortæller blandt andet om hans tidligste seksuelle oplevelser, da han som bare 15-årig indledte en affære med sin næsten dobbelt så gamle klaverlærer, mødet med hans første kone, Beatrice, og deres ulykkelige ægteskab, der kulminerede i en voldsom forelskelse i den unge, eksotiske June, som Henry Miller senere blev gift med.

- Nexus II
263,95 kr. Published for the first time in English, Paris 1928 (Nexus II) continues in true Henry Miller fashion the narrative begun in Nexus, the third volume of the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. A rough draft that Miller ultimately abandoned, the story describes Miller's first wondrous glimpse of Paris and underscores several of the recurrent themes of his work. These previously unpublished memoirs capture Miller's troubled relationship with his second wife, June; reflections on what he left behind in New York's sweltering summer of 1927; and the anticipation of all that awaits him in Europe. Paris 1928 presents Miller's views on Europe on the brink of great changes, counterpointed by his own personal sexual revelry and freedom of choice. Illustrations in this edition are by Australian artist and filmmaker Garry Shead.

153,95 kr. In this selection of stories and essays, Henry Miller elucidates, revels, and soars, showing his command over a wide range of moods, styles, and subject matters. Writing "from the heart," always with a refreshing lack of reticence, Miller involves the reader directly in his thoughts and feelings. "His real aim," Karl Shapiro has written, "is to find the living core of our world whenever it survives and in whatever manifestation, in art, in literature, in human behavior itself. It is then that he sings, praises, and shouts at the top of his lungs with the uncontainable hilarity he is famous for." Here are some of Henry Miller's best-known writings: an essay on the photographer Brassai; "Reflections on Writing," in which Miller examines his own position as a writer; "Seraphita" and "Balzac and His Double," on the works of other writers; and "The Alcoholic Veteran," "Creative Death," "The Enormous Womb," and "The Philosopher Who Philosophizes."

118,95 kr. 'Out of the sea, as if Homer himself had arranged it for me, the islands bobbed up, lonely, deserted, mysterious in the fading light'Enraptured by a young woman's account of the landscapes of Greece, Henry Miller set off to explore the Grecian countryside with his friend Lawrence Durrell in 1939. In The Colossus of Maroussi he describes drinking from sacred springs, nearly being trampled to death by sheep and encountering the flamboyant Greek poet Katsumbalis, who 'could galvanize the dead with his talk'. This lyrical classic of travel writing represented an epiphany in Miller's life, and is the book he would later cite as his favourite. 'One of the five greatest travel books of all time' Pico Iyer

'Here, even if I had a thousand dollar in my pocket, I know of no sight which could arouse in me the feeling of ecstasy'Looking back to Henry Miller's bohemian life in 1930s Paris, when he was an obscure, penniless writer, Quiet Days in Clichy is a love letter to a city. As he describes nocturnal wanderings through shabby Montmartre streets, caf s and bars, sexual liaisons and volatile love affairs, Miller brilliantly evokes a period that would shape his entire life and oeuvre.

In The World of Sex, Henry Miller, one of the most scandalous writers of the 20th century explains his literary project Henry Miller's bold, explicit novels scandalized readers and remade the literature of his day. In this uncompromising literary manifesto he argues that sex is at the heart of his writing because it is at the heart of life - a vital force as essential as bread, money, work or play. Drawing on his own experiences and on the writing of his famously banned novels in Paris, he shows sex as a mysterious realm that must be explored if we are to be truly free.

143,95 kr. Resembling a musical sextet where no two instruments are the same, but all instruments blend to form a single sound, Henry Miller's Sextet combines six jive-talkin', fresh, and impromptu pieces of writing originally published as individual chapbooks by Capra Press: "On Turning Eighty," "Reflections on the Death of Mishima," "First Impressions of Greece," "The Waters Reglitterized: The Subject of Water Colors in Some of its More Liquid Phases," "Reflections on The Maurizius Case: A Humble Appraisal of a Great Book," and "Mother, China and the World Beyond: A Dream in Which I Die and Find Myself in Devachan (Limbo) Where I Run into My Mother whom I Hated All My Life."Like your favorite band releasing a six-song EP to keep you salivating until its next full-length album, Sextet is a finger-snapping sample of Miller's work with the blare of a clarion call, and lots of raucous humor and jazz.

208,95 kr. In 1958, when Henry Miller was elected to membership in the American Institute of Arts and Letters, the citation described him as: "The veteran author of many books whose originality and richness of technique are matched by the variety and daring of his subject matter. His boldness of approach and intense curiosity concerning man and nature are unequalled in the prose literature of our times." It is most fitting that this anthology of "the best" of Henry Miller should have been assembled by one of the first among Miller's contemporaries to recognize his genius, the eminent British writer Lawrence Durrell. Drawing material from a dozen different books Durrell has traced the main line and principal themes of the "single, endless autobiography" which is Henry Miller's life work. "I suspect," writes Durrell in his Introduction, "that Miller's final place will be among those towering anomalies of authorship like Whitman or Blake who have left us, not simply works of art, but a corpus of ideas which motivate and influence a whole cultural pattern." Earlier, H. L. Mencken had said, "his is one of the most beautiful prose styles today," and the late Sir Herbert Read had written that "what makes Miller distinctive among modern writers is his ability to combine, without confusion, the aesthetic and prophetic functions." Included are stories, "portraits" of persons and places, philosophical essays, and aphorisms. For each selection Miller himself prepared a brief commentary which fits the piece into its place in his life story. This framework is supplemented by a chronology from Miller's birth in 1891 up to the spring of 1959, a bibliography, and, as an appendix, an open letter to the Supreme Court of Norway written in protest of the ban on Sexus, a part of which appears in this volume.

In 1939, after ten years as an expatriate, Henry Miller returned to the United States with a keen desire to see what his native land was really like-to get to the roots of the American nature and experience. He set out on a journey that was to last three years, visiting many sections of the country and making friends of all descriptions. The Air-Conditioned Nightmare is the result of that odyssey.

108,95 kr. First published in 1959, this touching fable tells of Auguste, a famous clown who could make people laugh but who sought to impart to his audiences a lasting joy. Originally inspired by a series of circus and clown drawings by the cubist painter Femand Léger, Miller eventually used his own decorations to accompany the text in their stead. "Undoubtedly," he says in his explanatory epilogue, °'it is the strangest story I have yet written. . . . No, more even than all the stories which I based on fact and experience is this one the truth. My whole aim in writing has been to tell the truth, as I know it. Heretofore all my characters have been real, taken from life, my own life. Auguste is unique in that he came from the blue. But what is this blue which surrounds and envelopes us if not reality itself? . . . We have only to open our eyes and hearts, to become one with that which is."

283,95 kr. This collection of stories and essays takes its title from a long prose reverie in which Henry Miller, after his return to the United States, thinks back to the happy years of middle life which he spent in France. The qualities that make the French unique have seldom been so movingly expressed. The America he had rediscovered does not come off very well by contrast-particularly the Hollywood state of mind, which gets a thoroughly Milleresque going over in the burlesque "Astrological Fricassee."What Miller likes on the American scene are the individuals who have broken through the pattern of conformity, the rare and often isolated creative personalities who are resisting the dehumanization of our so-called "civilization." He gives us vivid portraits of the painters Abe Rattner, Jean Varda and Beauford Delaney; the sculptor Bufano; and Jasper Deeter, director of the hedgerow Theatre.Two of Henry Miller's greatest essays are also in this volume: "Murder the Murderer" (on war), a declaration which ranks with Randolph Bourne's War and the Intellectuals, and, with particular relevance to the censorship codes which kept his Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn out of this country for so long, "Obscenity and the Law of Reflection."

158,95 kr. One of Henry Miller's most luminous statements of his personal philosophy of life, Stand Still Like the Hummingbird, provides a symbolic title for this collection of stories and essays. Many of them have appeared only in foreign magazines while others were printed in small limited editions which have gone out of print. Miller's genius for comedy is at its best in "Money and How It Gets That Way"-a tongue-in-cheek parody of "economics" provoked by a postcard from Ezra Pound which asked if he "ever thought about money." His deep concern for the role of the artist in society appears in "An Open Letter to All and Sundry," and in "The Angel is My Watermark" he writes of his own passionate love affair with painting. "The Immorality of Morality" is an eloquent discussion of censorship. Some of the stories, such as "First Love," are autobiographical, and there are portraits of friends, such as "Patchen: Man of Anger and Light," and essays on other writers such as Walt Whitman, Thoreau, Sherwood Anderson and Ionesco.Taken together, these highly readable pieces reflect the incredible vitality and variety of interests of the writer who extended the frontiers of modern literature with Tropic of Cancer and other great books.
