HUXLEY, Aldous.. Rotunda: A Selection From The Works.. London, Chatto & Windus 1932., 1932.
Price: US$75.00 + shipping
Description: First edition. Hardcover. A light crease mark on the cloth of the front boards, some very light foxing on the fore-edge and prelims, otherwise very good in a good/fair professionally restored price-clipped jacket. Restoration includes numerous closed tears, three letters on the spine's title and one letter on the front panel's spine lettering. A 'door-stop' of a Huxley selection (nearly 1100 pages) which takes the writer up to roughly middle-career. It includes complete the novel "Those Barren Leaves" , a half-dozen short stories/novellas, poems, drama and a good selection of essays and travel writing. Most often copies turn up without dustjacket, and it appears the title was not a good seller at the time (though Huxley had just published "Brave New World" earlier in 1932, it had not yet gathered force as a dystopian classic). Two jacket variants are evident in first edition copies, a plain yellow jacket with red lettering and another jacket which features a b/w photograph of the author on the front panel. Both jackets were priced originally at 7/6 on the spine, but often the latter jacket has a cheaper price-sticker (3/6) placed over the original price, presumably to encourage sales. The present jacket is the latter photo version, with evidence of the reduced sticker on the spine. The title lettering on the spine, in red, is faded much less than usual. Scan available on request. This heavy book will cost more to send overseas, than any default postage rate noted.

Best known for his novels including Brave New World and a wide-ranging output of essays, Huxley also edited the magazine Oxford Poetry, and published short stories, poetry, travel writing, film stories and scripts. Huxley spent the later part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. Aldous Huxley was a humanist, pacifist, and satirist, and he was latterly interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism. He is also well known for advocating and taking psychedelics. By the end of his life Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time and respected as an important researcher into visual communication and sight-related theories as well. (source. Wik.) Chatto & Windus has been, since 1987, an imprint of Random House, publishers. It was originally an important publisher of books in London, founded in the Victorian era. The firm developed out of the legitimate publishing business of John Camden Hotten, founded in 1855. After his death in 1873, it was sold to Hotten's junior partner Andrew Chatto (18411913) who took on the minor poet W. E. Windus as partner. Chatto & Windus published Mark Twain, W. S. Gilbert, Wilkie Collins, H.G. Wells, Richard Aldington, Frederick Rolfe (as Fr. Rolfe), Aldous Huxley, Samuel Beckett, the famous 'unfinished' novel Weir of Hermiston (1896) by Robert Louis Stevenson, and the first translation into English of Marcel Proust's novel À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past, C. K. Scott-Moncrieff, 1922), amongst others. In 1946, the company took over the running of the Hogarth Press, founded in 1917 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Active as an independent publishing house until 1969, when it merged with Jonathan Cape, it published broadly in the field of literature, including novels and poetry. It is not connected, except in the loosest historical fashion, with Pickering & Chatto Publishers. (sourc. Wik.) Sprache: Englisch

Aldous Huxley. Little Mexican. Chatto and Windus, 1932.
Price: US$375.78 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Aldous Huxley, born 1894, is best known for his fictional dystopian novel Brave New World, as well as his non-fiction account of his experiences with psychedelics, The Doors of Perception. He was adept at writing a variety of genres, however, including poetry, literary criticism, screenplays, and short stories. Little Mexican, alternatively known as Young Archimedes in the US and first published in 1924 was Huxleyâ s third collection of short stories, which he primarily wrote in Italy between 1923-1924. There are six stories in total, some of which are semi-autobiographical in nature. The stories in the volume are, "Uncle Spencer," "Little Mexican," "Hubert and Minnie," "Fard," "The Portrait," and "Young Archimedes." This edition may be described as being in Very Good condition. There is some bumping to the corners and ends of the spine, but the pages are clear and save for some mild age-related discolouration are in excellent condition. There is a previous owners name and date on the front fly leaf, as well as a note indicating that it is a signed copy, both in blue pen. It is signed by the author on the title page, and dated in Huxleyâ s hand 1938, demonstrating the distinctive manner in which he wrote the date with the 1 and 9 attached. The dust jacket may be described as being in Fair condition. There are some nicks and tears in the top and bottom, but the most significant issue is large tears to the front edge of the dust jacket, which have been repaired with cellophane tape. The dust jacket is now in a protective plastic cover to preserve its integrity.

Huxley (Aldous). Brave New World. A Novel.. Chatto & Windus, 1932.
Price: US$384.98 + shipping
Description: FIRST EDITION, some faint foxing to prelims, pp. [viii], 308, crown 8vo, original blue cloth, backstrip gilt lettered and darkened with a central ridge and a little rubbed at ends, knock causing a little creasing at head of lower board, bottom corners gently bumped, edges a little toned, flyleaf faintly spotted with contemporary ownership inscription, good. The first novel to consider human cloning, and Huxley's dystopian masterpiece celebrating a utopian future whilst in truth illustrating the horror it delivers. Huxley wrote to Orwell suggesting that the future 'Brave New World' portrayed was more likely than that of 'Nineteen Eighty Four', 'an all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude', but he was later to revise this view.

S.W.1 - 13 . vii . 26 - I am going away for a week on Thursday afternoon. If you left the books here tomorrow, I can probably be able to sign them on Thursday morning, before I go. Otherwise I can do it when I return. - Yours, Aldous Huxley - Brave New World: Huxley’s quintessential novel of ideas. Cyril Connolly, in his reviews of 100 key books in the Modern movement, called Brave New World 'a brilliantly plausible fantasy a Utopia which is never dull, of which the horror is always credible as one's sympathies grow more involved'. - Barron described it as 'a brilliant and perceptive polemic, and the opposing side of the argument has found no advocate of comparable eloquence'. - Banned by the Board of Censors of Ireland in 1932. Huxley's greatest novel, Brave New World is a shrewd guess at the likely shape of a future tyranny. His dystopia, with its test-tube babies and recreational drugs, its 'feelies' that anticipate virtual reality . - Great item for Huxley collector’s. - Condition and Description of book: This is a brand new facsimile dustjacket in a superb condition. Retains price of 7s. 6d. NET to the front prelim. [It was reproduced from a First Edition - First Impression/Printing].

Price: US$5774.69 + shipping
Description: First edition. Octavo. 306 pages. One of the defining novels of the twentieth century, a dystopian vision which distils the fears arising from scientific advance, just as Orwell's 1984 did for those arising from the misuse of progressive political theory.A few small spots to fore-edge. Faint vertical crease to spine. Very good indeed in good dustwrapper with some rubbing to the edges, a 6 cm closed tear and a thumbnail sized chip to the tail of the spine affecting the publishers' names; repairs on the reverse. The fold of the front flap has been clumsily reinforced on the reverse. The colour of the dustwrapper is sharp and bright, making this a suitable candidate for the restorer's art.

Description: Beautiful clean book near fine, with a stunning near fine vibrant original dust jacket. “A nightmarish prognostication of a future in which humanity has been destroyed by science. Easily Huxley’s most popular (and many good judges continue to think his best) novel”. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 Greatest Novels of the twentieth century. The book is in beautiful condition with bright blue boards still retaining their original sheen, with bright unfaded gilt titles to spine. The boards have sharp corners, one slightly pushed, and no edgewear. Slight toning to the boards and slight soft creases along the spine, and one very tiny 1mm ding to rear board. The binding is tight and square. The end papers and internal pages are clean, with NO owner names, NO inscriptions, NO bookstore stamps and NO bookplates. The internal pages are clean, bright and flat with no stains, no marks, no foxing, no writing, no handling marks, and no bent pages. Lovely book internally appearing as unread. Rough cut page edges as published. Please see detailed images. The scarce original dust jacket has benefited from very slight restoration by an expert paper conservator to the spine tips and as such presents as a near fine example. The Brave New World jacket is known to be extremely fragile, and usually in pieces. This jacket has strong vibrant colors with no rips, no chips, no edgewear, no stains but a touch of slight toning to the spine. An absolutely lovely jacket presenting the book very well. The jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of 7s. 6d.net. Please see detailed images. A very handsome unrestored example of this classic fragile book. A defining moment in the genre of the dystopian novel, Brave New World considers the dangers that new technologies and mass modernization pose to the very core of humanness. Rather than depicting these developments as gateways to utopia, as writers such as H.G. Wells had done, Huxley foreshadowed how radically technology and psychological conditioning could limit individual rights ranging from sexuality and reproduction to creativity to love. A “nightmarish prognostication of a future in which humanity has been destroyed by science” (DNB). ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. PLEASE SEE OUR ABE STORE FOR MORE SCI-FI TITLES.
