Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch.
by Miller, Henry
- Used
- Paperback
1975. New York, Pocket Books / Simon & Schuster, 1975. 10.5 x 18cm. 400 pages. Original softcover with red stained edges. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. From the library of swiss - american - irish poet Chuck Kruger. In his great triptych "The Millennium," Bosch used oranges and other fruits to symbolize the delights of Paradise. Whence Henry Miller's title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Miller's life on the Big Sur, a section of California coast where he lived for fifteen years. Big Sur is the portrait of a place--one of the most colorful in the U.S.--and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (and writers who didn't write), mystics seeking truth in meditation (and the not-so-saintly looking for sex-cults or celebrity), sophisticated children and adult innocents; geniuses, cranks and the unclassifiable. Henry Miller writes with a buoyancy and brimming energy that are infectious. He has a fine touch for comedy. But this is also a serious book--the testament of a free spirit who has broken through the restraints and cliches of modern life to find within himself his own kind of paradise. [New Directions]
