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 (1841–1913) 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

Condition: Very Good

Description: The First UK printing published by Chatto and Windus, London in 1932. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. Original blue boards with slight fading of the blue colouring to the spine. Gilt titling and decoration remain vibrant. Light pushing at the spine ends and a tiny bump to the lower rear corner.

The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ condition. It is correctly priced at '7s. 6d.net' to the front tower flap. A few rubbed areas to the upper spine end with a little loss, not involving the lettering. Some rubbing to the folds and corners and small losses at the upper corners. Light edgewear with a few nicks and small closed tears in places and a light horizontal scratch to the rear panel. Light toning to the spine. The wrapper artwork looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. 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' (DNB). 'After the success of his first three novels, Huxley abandoned the fictional milieu of literary London and directed his satire toward an imagined future. He admitted that the original idea of Brave New World was to challenge H.G. Wells' Utopian vision. The novel also marks Huxley's increasing disenchantment with the world, which was to result in his leaving England for California in 1937 in search of a more spiritual life. The book was immediately successful' (Parker & Kermode, 161-62). Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 Greatest Novels of the twentieth century. Housed in a custom solander box with gilt titling, marbled inserts and a silk tie. A sharp copy of an increasingly elusive title to find in collectible condition. More images available on request.
