Henry Miller (1891–1980) was an American writer and watercolors painter. His parents were from Germany. The Colossus of Maroussi (1941), a travel book of Greece, is considered his best work. Other writings include: Tropic of Cancer (1934) (adventures in Paris), Black Spring (1936) (his early Brooklyn years), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion Trilogy: Sexus (1949), Plexus (1953), and Nexus (1960).
Henry Miller sought to reestablish the freedom to live without the conventional restraints of civilization. His books are potpourris of sexual description, quasi-philosophical speculation, reflection on literature and society, surrealistic imaginings, and autobiographical incident. [1]
