Description du produitThis book about Greece, by the author of Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is incandescent with his feeling for a great people and their past. "It doesn't seem far from a miracle to me, the emergence of as friendly and joyful a book."—Paul Rosenfeld. Présentation de l'éditeurHenry Miller’s landmark travel book, now reissued in a new edition, is ready to be stuffed into any vagabond’s backpack.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.”Présentation de l'éditeurHenry Miller’s landmark travel book, now reissued in a new edition, is ready to be stuffed into any vagabond’s backpack.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.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

For more information, please contact the GRO team: [email protected] Guy Stevenson XXX On Henry Miller: Or, How to Be an Anarchist By John Burnside (Princeton University Press 175pp £18.95) As anyone who has tried to write about him knows, Henry Miller is a difficult subject. Besides his reputation for pornography and sexism – both partially justified and always requiring explanation – there’s also always the nagging sense of this defiantly anti-academic writer hovering, disapprovingly, over the critic’s shoulder. In his preface to On Henry Miller, a book intended ‘not about Miller, but after’ him, the poet and novelist John Burnside does a good job of summing up these pitfalls. Scanning an early draft, he says, he realised with horror first that he had unwittingly fudged the issue of female objectification, and second that he had produced a work ‘as unlike anything Henry Miller might have written as it was possible to be.

  • George Seferis and Lawrence Durrell)
    George Thaniel Dwellers in the Greek Eye (George Seferis and Lawrence Durrell) "All my favourite characters have been I Out of all pattern and proportion," Lawrence Durrell announces at the start of his poem "Mythology" (Collected Poems: 251) 1 which he once sent to Seferis, primarily to amuse him. Seferis became sufficiently interested in the poem to translate it into idiomatic Greek appropriate to the style of the original (Andigrafes: 133). Durrell's claim to have a predilection for extraordinary characters is certainly true about his fictional char­ acters, especially those of the Alexandria Quartet, the work which made him famous. It was also true about some real characters whom he had known, either personally, like George Katsimbalis, Miller's Colossus of Maroussi, who figures in "Mythology," or Cavafy, the Alexandrian poet whom he knew through his work. To some degree, Durrell's assertion may also be taken to include himself as well as Seferis. The two men, the extroverted Durrell and the introverted Seferis (senior to Durrell by twelve years) were close friends through most of Seferis' life and sources of inspiration for each other, particularly during the early part of their acquaintance. The Cyprus conflict eventually found them in different camps and may have soured their friendship Qudging from Seferis' diaries and correspondence), but the break seems to have been temporary. Through the 60's they kept in touch and exchanged letters, though less frequently than in the early years. They also wrote brief memoirs about each other. Durrell's on Seferis postdates the latter's death in 1971.

  • One Thousand Books
    Christopher K. Starr OONNEE TTHHOOUUSSAANNDD BBOOOOKKSS Zardhenge, Ohio 2007 Cover illustration: The Bookworm by Carl Spitzweg (1850) CONTENTS Introduction ....................................................................................... 3 Books I Would Like to Read ..................................................................... 5 Books I'm Glad I Read ........................................................................... 31 1 2 INTRODUCTION Like modern people everywhere, I am enchanted by the written word. I regard books as a thing of wonder. Quite a number of famous writers, in an unabashed display or modernity, have seen fit to share with us the books that have meant much to them, and we thank them for it. I have perused those of Jorge Luis Borges (1961), Henry Miller (1952) and John Cowper Powys (1916), with interest and delectation. It has occurred to me that a very few people might care to see that my own booklist would look like. Going a step beyond Borges, Miller and Powys, I have listed those books that I have not yet read but would like to (Part 1), as well as those that I can recall having read with appreciation (Part 2). To be sure, some of the books that I think I want to read will almost certainly turn out to be foolish choices when I get to them, but no matter. Unlike the three aforementioned luminaries, I have no literary reputation to lose. Each part lists about 1000 books. Where a particular volume has an english version, this title is given first. If it has an alternative english title or (more often) if the original title is in another modern language that uses roman script, this follows in square brackets.

  • HENRY MILLER Greetings to the Monster
    HENRY MILLER Greetings to the Monster by Michael Ventura December 27, 1991 I want to become the monster I am. --Henry Miller, in a letter, 1936 Fuck America! She’s a maniac without balls. --Henry Miller, in a letter, 1934 On December 26 it will be 100 years since the birth of Henry Miller, and America still doesn’t know what to do with him. Feminists tend to dismiss him as a sexist, gays as a repressed homosexual. Nobody in the men’s movement dares talk about him at all. The critical establishment seems to think of Miller as some sort of literary freak, an amateur who hit it big with one book, Tropic of Cancer, then fizzled. (Miller worked 20 years forging one of the most distinctive prose styles of the century, and did it in circumstances that would have crushed most people; whatever he was, he was no amateur.) Academia simply ignores Miller; the professors don’t teach him, and they don’t write about him – a tacit admission that Henry Miller’s very presence in literature defies. None of this would have surprised Miller, though some of it might have wounded him. As he wrote to the still un-published Lawrence Durrell in 1936, “They will shit on you anyway, so have your say first.” While he lived, America treated Miller even more harshly – at least until he was about 70. He completed Tropic of Cancer in 1932, at the age of 41; Tropic of Capricorn and Black Spring were written over the next four years. Considered his greatest books, they were banned in America until 1961.

  • Prospero's Cell Lawrence Durrell and the Quest For
    PROSPERO'S CELL LAWRENCE DURRELL AND THE QUEST FOR ARTISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS by JAMES ALBERT BRIGHAM B.A., University of British Columbia, I963 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OP THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June, I965 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, 1 agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives,, It is understood that copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada 4 August 1965 ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to consider the movement toward and achievement of artistic consciousness on the part of Lawrence Durrell. The emphasis is on the early work, particularly Prospero's Cell, "Prospero's Isle", Reflections On A Marine Venus, Durrell*s published correspondence with Henry Miller, and "Cities, Plains and People". The 1937-1946 period was chosen because it was the period which Durrell spent in Greece in a voluntary exile from England. A discussion of the poems and articles from this period and of the later Alexandria Quartet, which traces the growth toward artistic consciousness in a more objective way, was not possible within the limits of the thesis.
