Sexus II

The Rosy Crucifixion #1.2

by Henry Miller, Risto Lehmusoksa (Translator)

Sexus aloittaa legendaarisen Ruusuinen ristiinnaulitseminen-trilogian. Amerikkalaisen kirjallisuuden kauhukakara kuvaa elämää, rakkautta ja taidetta raadollisella rehellisyydellä. Sexus kyseenalaistaa käsitykset hyvästä mausta ja säädyllisyydestä. Se on häpeilemättömän eroottinen, kuvia kumartamaton kirja, joka lumoaa ja vangitsee lukijansa.

About the author

Henry Valentine Miller was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist. He broke with existing literary forms and developed a new type of semi-autobiographical novel that blended character study, social criticism, philosophical reflection, stream of consciousness, explicit language, sex, surrealist free association, and mysticism. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris (all of which were banned in the United States until 1961). He also wrote travel memoirs and literary criticism, and painted watercolors.

[Scherzo · Rating 2 out of 5]

Estamos dentro de ustedes todo el tiempo. Bacterias, sí, tal vez. Si son ustedes fuertes, los apoyamos; si son débiles, los destruimos. No vivimos en el mundo como les parece a los gentiles, sino en el espíritu. El mundo pasa, pero el espíritu es eterno. Mi hijo entendía eso. Quería permanecer puro. El mundo no era bueno para él. Murió de vergüenza... de vergüenza del mundo.
