5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most amazing book of 20 century
if you want to know what's freedom in all ways, you get to read the obelisk trilogy, a book that talk about the life of henry miller and all his friends and what they have to leave on the road for be artists,

Now you get the chance to read the enter trilogy in one book

Let's take the wild side of life (paris 1930)

2.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read--Publisher needs a copyeditor
The collection of three of Miller's greatest works in volume looked too good to be true. It was. Miller's great, brusque voice is here, but the production quality of the volume is very low. The text contains far too many errors, as if it were transcribed with no proofread prior to press. Buy another edition from a more reputable company.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get The Revised Edition, April 19, 2005
This review is from: The Obelisk Trilogy: Tropic Of Cancer, Tropic Of Capricorn, Black Spring (Volume 41) (Paperback)
Took a chance on the ebook, as the title is ridiculously cheap.

Message at the front says "Revised, March 2005"--so if you're getting it from a marketplace seller or something, be sure they have the right version.

I can remember first picking up a paperbound trilogy by Mr. Miller some 20 years, an old Grove PB from the '60s. Loved it, and it keeps speaking to me to this very day.

Four stars because the text is marked up in the French manner, and it can be a little hard to deal with all the angle quotes and such.

Did buy the paperback as well, and love carrying all three around with me.
