Henry Miller
Sobre o Autor
Henry Miller was an American writer and painter, best known for his semi-autobiographical novels that blend fiction and autobiography. His most famous works, including 'Tropic of Cancer' and 'Tropic of Capricorn', explore themes of personal freedom, sexuality, and the human condition, often set against the backdrop of his life in Paris and the bohemian lifestyle he embraced. Miller's writing style is characterized by its stream-of-consciousness prose and frank discussions of taboo subjects, which led to both acclaim and controversy during his lifetime.
Miller's influence extends beyond literature; he is often associated with the Beat Generation and has inspired countless writers and artists. His candid exploration of the self and rejection of conventional societal norms resonated with many in the mid-20th century and continues to be relevant today. His works have been translated into multiple languages and remain widely read, making him a significant figure in American literature.
