A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This volume of essays - on the theme of man's relationship with the environment, both natural and social - illuminates not only the problems, but also the potentialities of the modern world. Huxley alerted the world to the dangers of the deteriorating planet over 30 years ago.

À propos de l?auteur

Aldous Huxley was born in 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, ‘Crome Yellow’ (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by ‘Antic Hay (1923), ‘Those Barren Leaves’ (1925) and ‘Point Counter Point ‘(1928) – bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society.
