Tropic of Cancer Audiobook (Free)

Now hailed as an American classic, Tropic of Cancers, Henry Miller’s masterpiece, was prohibited as obscene in this nation for twenty-seven years after its first publication in Paris in 1943. Only a historic courtroom ruling that changed American censorship criteria, ushering in a new era of freedom and frankness in modern literature, allowed the publication of this first level of Miller’s famed combination of memoir and fiction, which chronicles with unapologetic gusto, the bawdy travels of a expatriate writer, his friends, as well as the heroes they meet in Paris in the 1930s. Tropic of Cancer is now regarded as, as Norman Mailer said, ‘one from the ten or twenty great novels of our century.’
