这是一部亨利·米勒的游记，一部关于美国的游记。 可以说，亨利·米勒是一个典型的充满人文情怀的作家，对残破的乡村、对荒芜的沙漠、对被冷落的艺术和被抛弃的艺术精神，以及对任何一个充满永恒真理气息的梦想，都投之以无限的向往和不竭的激情。与此同时，对物质文明的不断扩张和精神家园的不断遭受侵染的冷酷现实，作家则表现出了不自禁的愤懑与难以排遣的压抑。

《玛洛西的大石像》是亨利·米勒的一本游记。书中记述了第二次世界大战前他在希腊的各种经历，描写了希腊的自然景观、风土人情，字里行间体现着他对一个伟大民族深厚的敬仰之情。

No punches are pulled in Henry Miller's most famous work. Still pretty rough going for even our jaded sensibilities, but Tropic of Cancer is an unforgettable novel of self-confession. Maybe the most honest book ever written, this autobiographical fiction about Miller's life as an expatriate American in Paris was deemed obscene and banned from publication in this country for years. When you read this, you see immediately how much modern writers owe Miller. Starred Review. Millers once controversial story that ended up altering United States censorship laws tells of a young writer and his pals in Paris during the Great Depression. Part memoir, part fictional tale, Millers prose is a complex mix that demands the readers utmost attention. Campbell Scott reads with a gentle, steady voice that captures the more personal side of Millers writing. Scott is in conversation with himself, posing questions and offering up answers apparently on a whim. His reading is incredibly rich and layered, filled with emotions and ideologies. The result is a stunning, intimate listen that will lure listeners in with its straightforward approach and keep them rapt with its raw honesty. (Sept.)

'A ranting, randy book carried along by a deep, sensual enjoyment of living.' Sunday Times 'Tropic of Cancer is a great prophetic book, a warning of what deadens life, an affirmation that it can yet be lived in an age whose sterile non-cultures seek to thwart all mainsprings of fertility. Miller reveals himself as a battered faun, a crafty innocent, a lonely, lazy, sometimes fearful, always steadfast, worshipper of life' Spectator --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

本书由《柯利希的宁静日子》和《梯脚下的微笑》两部分组成。 《柯利希的宁静日子》是与《北回归线》同时期完成的自传体小说集。作者在作品中描绘了自己在巴黎度过的一些潦倒但自由的生活片段，作者在郁积的苦闷之中寻求解脱而选择的放荡不羁的生活方式在作品中一览无余。我们从而得知，凡真实的留存皆为永恒，包括放纵的历程。 　　《梯脚下的微笑》描写了马戏团小丑奥古斯特从辉煌到暗淡，由落拓到再次辉煌，最终在选择再一次的流浪之后偶然死亡的短暂经历。小说由此揭示出，个体生命的尊贵与卑微全然在上帝的戏弄与摆布之间。生命有不能承受之重，更有不能承受之轻。惟有欢乐的体验是我们赖以延续活力的一剂良方。所以，欢乐是自私的，而制造欢乐的欢乐更是自私的，也更为隐秘。
