Features: "What is novel and captivating, interesting and touching in this book is Miller's love for his children. This is also a new aspect in his work. He has always appeared as a master of witty, playful, and conversational prose, but in this book, he reveals a tenderness. It is a tenderness that goes beyond and is different from his male camaraderie." Big Sur is a collection of essays, musings, anecdotes, and stories created by Henry Miller in the 1950s. It covers a wide range of topics, from politics, history, race, and education to writing, painting, music, and even astrology. The central theme of the entire work revolves around the author's life in Big Sur. The book is deeply imbued with idealism, with every line revealing Miller's longing for natural humanity and a beautiful life. Through his descriptions of Big Sur's tranquil and elegant natural scenery and the simple and honest local customs, he shows us his vision of an ideal world.
