Paperback. Etat : New. Nexo de unión entre "Trópico de Cáncer" y "Trópico de Capricornio", "Primavera negra" es el libro que más a fondo y mejor introduce al lector en el personalísimo mundo literario de Henry Miller, pues en él vemos a la imaginación creativa actuando en todos los niveles. En un subyugante ir y venir de la memoria (de la infancia a la madurez, de Nueva York a París, de la ternura al desengaño más amargo al que el autor se enfrenta con rabia, sarcasmo y desprecio), Miller nos ofrece lo mejor de sí mismo y de su indiscutible talento artístico en una serie de capítulos que pueden leerse también independientemente, pero que en su conjunto conforman una sólida novela unitaria."Primavera negra" ha destacado como la mejor de las novelas de Miller, tanto por el original planetamiento y modo de relatar (mezclando ensayo y novela) como por la exploración en los comportamientos propios y ajenos.Henry Miler es sin duda el más vigente de entre los autores de su generación.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Sexus" se centra sobre todo en las experiencias sexuales del narrador protagonista, y éstas se narran con una absoluta carencia de perjuicios, de un modo directo pero no por ello descuidado, sino todo lo contrario; dotando a esta temática de una dignidad literaria que hasta entonces muy raramente había tenido. La fuerza expresiva, la imaginación metafórica y la pasión en la creación verbal convirtieron esta novela en uno de los clásicos más escandalosos de todos los tiempos, pero sobre todo a raíz de la continuación de la trilogía, pronto se comprendió que esta novela es un paso previo y necesario en la exploración de las dimensiones principales del ser humano.Con esta obra Miller abre la trilogía que sin mucho acierto se ha conocido a veces como "La crucifixión rosada".…

Paperback. Etat : New. The wild palms brings together two stories that alternate, Wild palms and The Old Man, to form an intense novel about the confrontation of human beings with the forces of nature and, above all, with their own passions, feelings and ambitions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Moksha is an impressive compendium of Aldous Huxley's texts about hallucinogenic drugs, their effects, their possibilities, their risks, etc. In this complete anthology, letters with scientists and researchers alternate, popular articles and short excerpts of essays and scenes from some of his novels in which drugs play an important role (The Island, A Happy World).

Paperback. Etat : New. In 1965 Professor Khawam began a meticulous process to establish a reliable, philologically rigorous, and literarily beautiful edition of what is undoubtedly one of the greatest works of world literature. Thus, the author, based on the main manuscript dating back to the thirteenth century, has achieved an impeccable version that discards some episodes added especially in the nineteenth century and instead recovers others that until now remained unpublished. We could say that we have for the first time the edition of The Thousand and One Nights as this book was originally conceived. The author includes in this work several prologues in which he shows to what extent Western publishers have been manipulating the text to make customs more accessible and to adjust the stories to the preconceived idea that the East has existed for centuries in Europe .…
