Whence Henry Millers title for this, one of his most appealing books; first published in 1957, it tells the story of Millers life on the Big Sur, a section of the California coast where he lived for fifteen years. Big Sur is the portrait of a place-one of the most colorful in the United States-and of the extraordinary people Miller knew there: writers (and writers who did not 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, like Conrad Moricand, the Devil in Paradise who is one of Millers greatest character studies. 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 clichés of modern life to find within himself his own kind of paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003etrade paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51880667545888,"sku":"NEW0811201074","price":21.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61hIO2Kx9xL.jpg?v=1781811444","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/big-sur-and-the-oranges-of-hieronymus-bosch-0811201074","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
