Sexus is the first volume of the scandalous trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, Henry Miller's major life workHenry Miller called the end of his life in America and the start of a new, bohemian existence in 1930s Paris his 'rosy crucifixion'. His searing fictionalized autobiography of this time of liberation was banned for nearly twenty years.

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.

A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of CancerA story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything.'Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done' Lawrence Durrell 'The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past' George Orwell 'The greatest American writer' Bob Dylan Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century.

Like the ancient colossus that stood over the harbor of Rhodes, Henry Miller's The Colossus of Maroussi stands as a seminal classic in travel literature.  It has preceded the footsteps of prominent travel writers such as Pico Iyer and Rolf Potts. The book Miller would later cite as his favorite began with a young woman's seductive description of Greece. Miller headed out with his friend Lawrence Durrell to explore the Grecian countryside: a flock of sheep nearly tramples the two as they lie naked on a beach; the Greek poet Katsmbalis, the "colossus" of Miller's book, stirs every rooster within earshot of the Acropolis with his own loud crowing; cold hard-boiled eggs are warmed in a village's single stove, and they stay in hotels that "have seen better days, but which have an aroma of the past."

Desde lo autobiográfico y ampliando sus límites, Miller nos sitúa en el Nueva York de su infancia y juventud para ofrecernos una demoledora panorámica de la sociedad norteamericana. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Banned in America for almost thirty years because of its explicit sexual content, this companion volume to Miller's Tropic of Cancer chronicles his life in 1920s New York City. Famous for its frank portrayal of life in Brooklyn's ethnic neighborhoods and Miller's outrageous sexual exploits, Tropic of Capricorn is now considered a cornerstone of modern literature. "Miller has once and for all blasted away the very foundation of human hypocrisy--moral, social, and political. . . " --The Nation

SHTF Disaster Survival Gear Guide A to ZBest Bug Out Gear & Supply ManualJust look through the last 20 years of headlines. The world has seen more terrorist attacks, civil unrest, large scale riots, looting, nuclear threats, active shooter situations, major wars, and school shootings than ever before. If you think this the new normal of the 21st century, let me be the first to disagree with you strongly. These are not, but this is a new reality. We have to learn to accept it, and I have, but as the world is changing, I have decided to change a little too.What if there is an attack in your city or in mine? Will we be prepared? As a professional hiker, I have traveled the world for years. I have met many interesting people along the way. But one group of people that stood out from all the rest were five guys I met in Columbia. I was their hiking coach for a week, and we were off to a very rough terrain when one of them asked me if I could teach them about disaster preparation and wilderness survival. I was surprised to hear his question, but the concerned look on his face told me he was dead serious. That question opened my mind and eyes wide open, and I realized I was not alone. There are people who fear the same as I do.When I taught disaster survival courses, I always told people, SHTF preparation is not all about just stockpiling food, water, and securing shelter. Well, think about it, if you only need to take shelter and hide for a week, yes, then it is fine to just have food, water, and secure shelter.But what if the disaster is truly a big and longer-lasting one? Would you be okay with just those three items? Or would you need to have a few more things to survive in the long run? Ideally, disaster preparation is much more than just that; a true preparation would be where you learn a few basic survival skills, master them, practice them and become a pro at them. To be truly successful, you need to take a comprehensive approach and look at the big picture as a whole, and that is exactly what I have done in these three books. In this book, along with Henry Miller, who is a commercial flight instructor and one of the well-known expert on survival gear and their proper use, we tried to show you every step of analyzing and picking the right gear for your specific needs to prepare for that ultimate disaster survival.We show you: What and how to prepare an EDC kitWhat and how to prepare a BOBWhat and how to prepare a GHB bagWhat and how to prepare an INCH bagHow to build a pet BOBWhat is the proper gear for your kidsWhat and how to pick the best bladed toolsWhat is the best knife to have in your kitDifference between multipurpose tools vs. Multi-tools5 Best Keychain and Wallet Multi-ToolsHow to build your own custom First Aid KitHow to pick the best lighting gear for your kitWhat Generators are the best for your needWhat is Bivy Shelter vs. Bivy Bag and which is better for youWhat rain gears are best for youWhat types of Gas Mask should you buy and whyBest Survival Self Defense Weapons to add to your kitWhat and how to use a tactical penWhat is the best Bug out vehicle7 Ways to upgrade your vehicle for survivalLet's get started

Prepared by Henry Miller for publication in 1938, Letters to Emil--correspondence from 1921 through 1934 with his boyhood friend and successful artist Emil Schnellock--remained unpublished until 1989. A chance encounter by the two men, out of touch since childhood, led to Miller's decision to become a writer. Throughout the '20s and into the '30s, Schnellock acted as his chief mentor, to whom he voiced his exuberant, sometimes cranky views of life and anxiously discussed his dying marriage to June Mansfield and his growing involvement with Anais Nin. Miller's letters are a compelling record of the writer in the making, beginning with his first efforts in 1922, tracing his ten-year struggle to find his own voice, and reaching a climax with the publication of Tropic of Cancer in 1934. Indeed, it was in his actual letters to Emil that Henry Miller developed his vigorously earthy yet philosophical style.

Some writers attempt to conceal the literary influences which have shaped their thinking--but not Henry Miller. In The Books in My Life he shares the thrills of discovery that many kinds of books have brought to a keenly curious and questioning mind. Some of Miller's favorite writers are the giants whom most of us revere--authors such as Dostoeyvsky, Boccaccio, Walt Whitman, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Lao-Tse. To them he brings fresh and penetrating insights. But many are lesser-known figures: Krishnamurti, the prophet-sage; the French contemporaries Blaise Cendrars and Jean Giono; Richard Jeffries, who wrote The Story of My Heart; the Welshman John Cowper Powys; and scores of others. The Books in My Life contains some fine autobiographical chapters, too. Miller describes his boyhood in Brooklyn, when he devoured the historical stories of G. A. Henty and the romances of Rider Haggard. He tells of the men and women whom he regards as "living books": Lou Jacobs, W. E. B. DuBois, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and others. He offers his reminiscences of the New York Theatre in the early 1900's--including plays such as Alias Jimmy Valentine and Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model. And finally, in Miller's best vein of humor, he provides a satiric chapter on bathroom reading. In an appendix, Miller lists the hundred books that have influenced him most.
