Binding firm ! Name of preowner in pencil to endpaper. "Novel of ideas by Aldous Huxley published in 1936. This semiautobiographical novel criticized the dearth of spiritual values in contemporary society. In nonchronological fashion the novel covers more than 30 years in the lives of a group of upper-middle-class English friends especially Anthony Beavis and his longtime married lover Helen. His intense prep-school friendships continue at Oxford; most important are his relationships with Brian Foxe who later commits suicide; with Hugh Ledwidge who marries Helen; and with Mark Staithes who becomes a Marxist and with whom Beavis goes to Mexico to fight in a revolution. While in Mexico Beavis adopts a Buddhist-centered philosophy practices meditation and becomes a pacifist." The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature hardcover

1962000368London: Chatto & Windus 1962 From the dust jacket: In The Flame Trees of Thika Elspeth Huxley described her early childhood in Kenya where her parents went as pioneer farm ers. Now in The Mottled Lizard she carries on the story when the family return to Kenya after the First World War. She re creates in vivid detail their home their native servants their European friends their ponies travels shooting expeditions and above all the wonderful wild life of the country with its forests bushveld and open spaces; its beasts birds and reptiles. The relationships of the girl with her forceful mother her gentle ineffective father and the young man Alan who is her hero are delicately handled. Nature 'provides unforgettable backgrounds and episodes - a big waterbuck by the pool at dawn an elephant family playing in the river the splendour of the African sunset the escapades of Rupert the de lightful pet but not tame cheetah. At the end when the girl leaves Kenya to return to Europe the reader shares her regret for the loss of this wild exciting country that has vanished now for ever and whose magic is preserved in pages written with insight wit and love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 335 pages ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
