His novel “Black Spring” which was written in 1932-1933 and first published in 1936 presents his childhood memories in Brooklyn and New York. The novel focuses on the development of sexuality of the novelist and his journey from childhood to adulthood, focusing on his sexuality. The novel presents his childhood sexuality, fantasies and his approach to sexuality changing with time. Miller challenges the taboos, canons and moral orders taking sexuality as a weapon against a person. He modifies all the rules of self-expression and perhaps he is the first novelist who presents himself as sexual hero. The research focuses on Miller’s view on sexuality and morality and his journey from childhood to youth and his development of personality along with the role of sexuality in the development of his personality. The paper is also an endeavour to study the concepts of contemporary moral order and social ethics presented by Henry Miller.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Генри Миллер - современный американский писатель, прославившийся автобиографическим выражением сексуальности в своих романах на фоне таких мегаполисов, как Нью-Йорк и Париж. Роман «Черная весна», написанный в 1932-1933 гг. и впервые опубликованный в 1936 г., рассказывает о детских воспоминаниях в Бруклине и Нью-Йорке. Цель исследования - дать критическую оценку романа, посвященного развитию сексуальности писателя и его путешествию из детства во взрослую жизнь. Рассмотрены представленные в романе детская сексуальность Миллера, фантазии и его подход к сексуальности, меняющийся со временем. Он бросает вызов табу, канонам и моральным установлениям, используя сексуальность как оружие против личности. Показано, что Миллер изменяет все правила самовыражения и, возможно, он первый романист, который представляет себя сексуальным героем. Проанализированы взгляды Миллера на сексуальность и мораль, его эволюции от детства к юности и становлению личности, а также роли сексуальности в развитии его личности. Изучены концепции современного морального порядка и социальной этики, представленные Генри Миллером.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Brooklyn</kwd><kwd>moral order</kwd><kwd>canons</kwd><kwd>culture</kwd><kwd>morality</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Бруклин</kwd><kwd>моральный порядок</kwd><kwd>каноны</kwd><kwd>культура</kwd><kwd>нравственность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Durell, L., &amp; Perles, A.
