The author''s first play, half serious, half comic.

Auch in diesem inzwischen weltberühmten und verfilmten Buch zeigt sich der unsterbliche Henry Miller als Prophet und Moralist. Jahrelang musste er auf die Veröffentlichung warten. Denn «Stille Tage in Clichy» ist nicht, wie der Titel vermuten lassen könnte, eine Idylle im Werk des "obszönsten Schriftstellers der Weltliteratur" (Sir Herbert Read). Doch sei es, dass sich sein Erzähler Joey dem Mädchen Nys nähert, das er im Café trifft, sei es Mara-Marignan, die sich auf dem Champs-Élysées nach ihm umdreht: Joeys Abenteuer sind von erstaunlicher Heiterkeit. Ganz gleich, ob eine Mutter unter dem Gekreisch ihrer Kinder entblößt wird oder ob Joey mit zwei Dirnen in der Badewanne Brot und Wein zu sich nimmt, fast immer sind seine Handlungen von Gelächter begleitet, gehen unter in wilder Ausgelassenheit. Zugleich beschwört Henry Miller das Paris der dreißiger Jahre und seiner Atmosphäre überschäumender Lebenslust.

Published for the first time in English, Paris 1928 (Nexus II) continues in true Henry Miller fashion the narrative begun in Nexus, the third volume of the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy. A rough draft that Miller ultimately abandoned, the story describes Miller''s first wondrous glimpse of Paris and underscores several of the recurrent themes of his work. These previously unpublished memoirs capture Miller’s troubled relationship with his second wife, June; reflections on what he left behind in New York’s sweltering summer of 1927; and the anticipation of all that awaits him in Europe. Paris 1928 presents Miller’s views on Europe on the brink of great changes, counterpointed by his own personal sexual revelry and freedom of choice. Illustrations in this edition are by Australian artist and filmmaker Garry Shead.

The distinguishing feature of experimental psychology is not so much the nature of its theories as the methods used to test their validity. The first edition of Experimental Design and Statistics provided a clear and lucid introduction to these methods and the statistical techniques which support them. For this new edition the text has been revised, the coverage of two-sample tests has been extended, and new sections have been added introducing one-sample tests, linear regression and the product-moment correlation coefficient. Problems associated with the applications of experimental design and how to use observations of behaviour in research are key questions for all introductory students of psychology.

"A manuscript attributed to Henry Miller but then later denied by him when he claimed the writing wasn’t up to his standards, despite the fact that Grove Press published the book under his name in 1983. According to bibliographers Shifreen and Jackson none of the stories were written by Miller. What is known is that in 1940 Miller was commissioned by a book dealer to write pornographic stories for Oklahoma oilman Roy Melisander Johnson, a client who had a standing order for pornographic manuscripts. Miller enlisted the help of Anaïs Nin, who began writing the manuscripts herself, with contributions from Robert Duncan, Harvey Breit, Caresse Crosby, Virginia Admiral, and Robert Sewall. In 1941, Miller gathered those stories together into a single manuscript titled Opus Pistorum with his name on the title page, which he sold to Los Angeles book dealer Milton Luboviski. Luboviski in turn typed five copies of the manuscripts and sold them to collectors of erotica. Bibliographer Jackson estimates that at least 35-40 complete copies were typed up at various points, including those with the Carmel 1950 imprint. The work was first published in 1983 by Grove Press, from one of the “Carmel 1950” copies, and later republished as Under the Roofs of Paris."--Dealer''s description.
