亨利·米勒及其“回归线小说”已经成了文学史上一桩被反复述说、令人兴奋不已的传奇。他的第一部也是最著名的作品《北回归线》1934年9月在法国巴黎问世后,一下便轰动了欧美的文坛,但随即在所有的英语国家成为禁书。当米勒从法国横渡英吉利海峡到英国旅行时,英国当局竟如临大敌,像对付烈性传染病一般禁止他入境,在码头将赤手空拳的他拘禁起来,并勒令他乘下一班船返回法国。尽管这样,米勒的文名还是不胫而走。他一直拥有大批读者和崇拜者。1944年8月,在美军攻下被纳粹德国占领的巴黎之后,许多士兵便在图书馆里寻觅起在他们本国被禁的《北回归线》和《南回归线》来。在那个年代,想要得到一本米勒的著作相当困难。他的其他一些未上禁书榜的作品在 Henry Miller and his “Tropic of Cancer Novels” have become legendary and exciting stories in the history of literature. His first and most famous work, the Tropic of Cancer, hit Europe and the United States in a literary scene in September 1934 after its publication in Paris, France, but it immediately became a ban on all English-speaking countries. When Miller traveled across the English Channel from France to Britain, the British authorities were on the verge of being enemies, barred him from entry as a potent communicable disease, detained him at the pier with bare hands and ordered him to take the next boat back to France . Despite this, Miller’s name still spread like wildfire. He has always had a large readership and admirer. In August 1944, after the U.S. forces captured Paris, which was occupied by Nazi Germany, many soldiers searched the library for the “Tropic of Cancer” and “Tropic of Cancer” that were banned in their own country. In those days it was quite difficult to get a copy of Miller’s book. His other works are not banned books list
