Description: Octavos, Two Volumes. In Very Good condition. Bound in light brown paper wraps with black lettering to spine. Mild rubbing and wear, primarily to corners and spines. Text block lightly age toned with very slight bumping to lower fore edge corners. First edition in English, preceded by the French text. Vol. I. (342, [3] pages) (Limited edition, #648/2000. Inscribed to William 'Bill' Targ by Henry Miller on the title page) - Vol. II. (348, [1] pages) (Out of series.). Shelved in Case 2. The second part in Miller's trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion continues the lightly fictionalized account of the six-year period of Henry Miller's life in Brooklyn and Paris as he falls for his second wife June (appearing here as 'Mona') and struggles to become a writer. In response to criticism about the trilogy from his friend, Lawrence Durrell, Miller wrote: "I am trying to reproduce in words a block of my life which to me has the utmost significance - every bit of it. Since 1927 I have carried inside me the material of this book. Do you suppose it's possible that I could have a miscarriage after such a period of gestation? . But Larry, I can never go back on what I've written. If it was not good, it was true; if it was not artistic, it was sincere; if it was in bad taste, it was on the side of life." (Brassaï, Henry Miller: The Paris Years). William Targ (1907-1999) was an American book editor and publisher, perhaps best known for publishing Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather while editor-in-chief of G. P. Putnam's Sons. He was also authored a memoir about his time in the publishing industry, Indecent Pleasures (1975). 1309101. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.

Condition: Near Fine
Description: Henry Miller (1891-1980), allegedly the most obscene writer in world literature, wrote his main work after 1944 in the California coastal region of Big Sur. The "The Rosy Crucifixion" comprised the three volumes "Sexus" (1949), "Plexus" (1953) and "Nexus" (1960) with his earlier experiences and adventures. Its most notorious, ostracized and therefore best-known part, "Sexus" (1949), was banned for a long time, in contrast to the follow-up volumes "Plexus" (1953) and "Nexus" (1960). Here is the two-volume first edition of Plexus, published by THE OLYMPIA PRESS, Paris, a unique address for banned world literature. This first edition was printed for a small private circle in an edition of only 2000 pieces and numbered by hand. The first volume (342 pages) is numbered 1794 from 2000, the second volume (348 pages) is numbered 379 from 2000, both printed in Paris in April 1953 according to the imprint. Linen, without dust jacket. Henry Miller (1891-1980), der angeblich obszönste Schriftsteller der Weltliteratur, schuf sein Hauptwerk nach 1944 in der kalifornischen Küstenregion Big Sur. Die The Rosy Crucifixion umfasste die drei Bände Sexus (1949), Plexus (1953) und Nexus (1960) mit seinen früheren Erlebnissen und Abenteuern. Deren berüchtigtster, verfemtester und mithin bekanntester Teil "Sexus" (1949) war im Gegensatz zu den Nachfolgebänden "Plexus" (1953) und "Nexus" (1960) lange Zeit verboten. Hier ist die zweibändige Erstausgabe von Plexus, erschienen im Verlag THE OLYMPIA PRESS, Paris, eine einzigartige Adresse für verbotene Weltliteratur. Diese Erstausgabe wurde für einen kleinen privaten Kreis in einer Auflage von nur 2000 Stück gedruckt und handschriftlich durchnummeriert. Der erste Band (342 Seiten) trägt die Nummer 1794 aus 2000, der zweite Band (348 Seiten) die Nummer 379 aus 2000, beide laut Impressum im April 1953 in Paris gedruckt. Leinen, ohne Schutzumschlag.
