Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For James Murphy thirty years later Aldous Huxley 1954." Fine in a very good dust jacket with light rubbing and wear. Uncommon signed and inscribed. London life just after World War I devoid of values and moving headlong into chaos at breakneck speed - Aldous Huxley's Antic Hay like Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises portrays a world of lost souls madly pursuing both pleasure and meaning. Fake artists third-rate poets pompous critics pseudo-scientists con-men bewildered romantics cock-eyed futurists - all inhabit this world spinning out of control as wildly comic as it is disturbingly accurate. In a style that ranges from the lyrical to the absurd and with characters whose identities shift and change as often as their names and appearances Huxley has here invented a novel that bristles with life and energy what the New York Times called "a delirium of sense enjoyment!"

19722835331972. Very Good binding. A small archive of correspondence between Sir Julian Huxley the scientist writer and brother of Aldous Huxley and a Mr. John T. Parks of Richardson Texas. ~There are four autograph letters signed and written by Sir Julian. In them Huxley comments on such things as the burning of the White House in the War of 1812 various species of fish and the vices of the Arabs. Of the Arabs he comments: "their greatest trouble was the power of the different sheiks - which led to a form of tribalism and hindered unity. Oil has helped some materially - but even the oil 'kingdoms' are very backward as regards education & health. Let us hope that this division will continue so as to prevent mass war against Israel." This written a mere year before the Yom Kippur War. ~Sir Julian's handwritten letters are at times difficult to transcribe and the archive helpfully includes typed transcripts of them. ~~Correspondent John Parks requested autographs for certain copies of Sir Julian's works one of which is included with the letters: an off-print copy of "World Population" from Scientific American signed by Sir Julian on the front cover. The archive also includes correspondence between Mr. Parks and publishers as well as the subscription department at The New Yorker: "For the trouble I caused him . I asked him and Lady Huxley what they would like short of a herd of longhorn steers . and he said he rather thought that a subscription to The New Yorker would do nicely". Finally includes an autographed letter signed by Judith Huxley daughter-in-law of Aldous thanking the Mr. Parks for the loan of a book. Very Good binding. unknown books
