صبوات أو سكسوس هي أول الكتب في "ثلاثية الصلب الوردي " والتي تصنف كونها سيرة ذاتية لهنري ميلر

ميلر من الرواة القلّه الذين يمتلكون دقة الوصف وقوة التعبير حتى لكأن المشاهد تصوّر أمامك في فيلم طويل .. وطويل جداً .. وهذا ما قد يعيبه .. إذ أن إيقاع الملل يستبد بك حين وتتمكن أنت منه حيناً آخر

يحكي الجزء الأول معاناة فشل زواجه وطريقه في الوقوع بحب امرأة أحلامه التي كانت "عاهره" .. وصراع الكبار في وظيفته الصغيره

هي بالتأكيد كحياة أي كاتب آخر .. ولكنك ستعشق الكثير من الاقتباسات التي لن تراها إلا تجسّد حالتك بالأمس .. او الآن أو ربما غداً

الجدير بالذكر أن روايات هنري كلها +21

Henry Miller reminds me of Norman Mailer in some ways. You have to accept the good comes with the bad for both these guys. Sexus is probably the best representation of that maxim as you're bludgeoned over the head for five hundred pages with some of Miller's sleaziest and smartest prose. You will either love or viscerally hate what he has to offer. No doubt about it though, this guy could write.

How interesting that many readers respond to Anais Nin's sexuality so positively and then react to Henry Miller with such repulsion. I think it's important to note that Nin is the true pornographer (she writes unusually sensitive and socially and psychologically complex pornography, but it would be difficult to claim that the object of her work is not erotic arousal, while Miller's primary interest throughout the novel is his character's progress as an artist). Miller's explicit scenes have various functions in the work and, honestly, when so much of Henry's energy is devoted to his relationships with women and his envy of female bodies, I submit that the omission of the sexual aspect of these concerns would be not only prudish but cowardly. But I also think there is more at work here, in terms of Miller's motives, than a simple commitment to honest writing (why, for instance, don't we hear more about Henry's bowels).

I was never bored while reading this book. Miller’s attitude toward life is so exhilarating that he makes it quite easy for you to hop on for one of his little unhinged joyrides. I half expected the same disjointed erotica from Tropic of Cancer, which all in all struck me as repetitive and dull, but here Miller appears to have matured as a writer (both thematically and stylistically). The erotica is surely present and I ain’t complaining, but what makes the book is that it manages to go much beyond that, and he does so while maintaining the same uncontrived live-or-let-die approach.

I really liked this book. The same way I liked "The dice man", "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintanance" or "A moveable feast".

The sex descriptions are awesome. The lust for life that Miller has is so contagious.

An eye opener.

حسنا هنرى اخبرنى كيف أقيم هذا الكتاب ؟؟
من المفترض انها الجزء الاول من ثلاثية الصلب الوردى التى اساسها حياته الخاصة .
وما تم كتابته عن العمل
ان مافعله هنرى انه تناول السنوات الجوهرية للحياة فى أمريكا حين كان يتعلم فى البداية كيف يكتب وعلاقة الحب الجوهرية فى حياته وفحصهما بدقة ولكن من وجهة نظر لاحقة اكثر نضجا بكثير فكانت النتيجة سردا ساحرا بصورة لاتصدق عملا ملحميا بالمعنى الشخصى والاجتماعى والاجمالى

حقيقة لااستطيع تصنيف هذا العمل لكنه مزيج غريب وجذاب احداث حياتيه يومية ، وفلسفة ، واراء اجتماعية وسياسية ، وأفكار، وجنس .

فى العادة عندما اكتب مراجعة تتدفق الافكار او احساسى تجاه ��لعمل لكن هنا اجد صعوبة ، بداية اجد تسميتها رواية ليست صحيحة فلن تجد حبكة وقصة متكاملة ويمكن تلخيصها فى جملتين السيد ميلر وزوجته وحبيبته واصدقاءه ومعارفة .
اما الجزء الاخير فحقيقة لم افهم ماذا يريد هنرى لم افهمه جيدا ..

لكن ذلك لم يمنع ان هناك شئ يجذبنى للقراءة بشدة هناك افكار داخلية ومناقشات خارجية واحاسيس واراء جذبتنى . تشعر انه يتحدث عن كل شئ ف الحياة والمجتمع ليس عن شى محدد ، تجده يأخذك فى جميع الاتجاهات .

Henry miller at his best. Even when the prose is tedious and long-winded, his humor shines through. Mara (later Mona) is a complicated figure. Even racially, she is ambiguous. All one learns is that she has no real history or personality. She is custom made for Miller and you feel that she fits like a mold for any man or woman she desires. I'm struggling to write a review because the contents of the book are all over the place. Yes, this is roughly about Henry Miller's third wife and their romance, but you get a huge perspective on life in 1920s New York. You get vulgarity, the vulnerability of young people who move there, the cynics that Miller befriends, and the general grime. Miller never romanticizes a person or local but experience itself. He states that the phantasmagoria is the past shackled to man; he references Nietzsche by calling man a rope between animal and God. He wants to live. He is ravenous and full of love (he states he loves everything but gravy the most of all). He hopes to collect moments and mull them over piece by piece. He is Whitman's successor.
