Black spring by Henry Miller ( Book )

Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along on a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.

"Just before the outbreak of World War Two the writer Henry Miller, who had been living in Paris after the publication of Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, took a boat to Greece in the heat of summer to meet his friend Lawrence Durrell. The rebirth he experienced there inspired one of the great travel books of our times. Miller later described his exploration of the ancient places of Athens, the islands, Crete and the Peloponnese as the high water mark in lifes adventures thus far. With a poetic imagination and passionate prose, he captures the elemental splendour of the country and paints vivid portraits of people he meets, including an extraordinary storyteller he names the Colossus. Rooted firmly in a particular time yet still fresh and vital, the book is also an unrestrained meditation on life, to be read and savoured."--Provided by publisher.
