[Literature] Miller, Henry. (1891 - 1980). Tropic of Capricorn - INSCRIBED. Paris: The Obelisk Press. [1939 / 1945]. 8vo, 11-365 pp. Crimson cloth hardcover volume, bound with original front wrapper, and yellow errata sheet proceeding title page. Published in August 1945, the first post-war edition of the book, printed from plates of the First Printing (February 1939), but on cheap war paper. This copy boldly signed and inscribed on the title page: "Henry Miller / for his friend Lillik as a forerunner of better things to come. For Lillik even the best is none too good. C'est un ami du coeur qui n'est rien d'un grand coeur. Henry 8/17/46 - After a whirlwind campaign - money, money, money, money, money." In very good condition, with a few pages chipped at margins, binding worn, but otherwise fine.

Tropic of Capricorn continues the autobiographical exploration of the self which Miller began in Tropic of Cancer, recounting, in his characteristically brutal and forthright style, the emergence of the artist from his early days of struggle in New York. Banned in many countries on grounds of obscenity, copies of Tropic of Capricorn were smuggled into the United States, contributing to the underground growth of his reputation in his native land.
