1927117342London: Chatto & Windus 1927. Signed limited edition of what is considered by many to be Huxley's definitive work of fiction. Octavo original cloth. Number 108 of 200 numbered copies signed by Aldous Huxley. In near fine condition. A very sharp example. Written at the height of his powers immediately after Brave New World Aldous Huxley's highly acclaimed Eyeless in Gaza is his most personal novel. Huxley's bold nontraditional narrative tells the loosely autobiographical story of Anthony Beavis a cynical libertine Oxford graduate who comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. Unfulfilled by his life loves and adventures Anthony is persuaded by a charismatic friend to become a Marxist and take up arms with Mexican revolutionaries. But when their disastrous embrace of violence nearly kills them Anthony is left shattered--and is forced to find an alternative to the moral disillusionment of the modern world.

192723615New York: George H. Doran Company. Good. c.1927. 2nd printing "B". Hardcover. no dust jacket moderately worn but sound copy bottom corners bumped tiny tear in cloth at top of spine. 28 essays on divers topics such as: "In a Tunisian Oasis"; "Tibet"; "Modern Folk Poetry"; "Edward Lear"; "Sir Christopher Wren"; "The Importance of Being Nordic"; "Chaucer"; "Popular Music" he liked ; and "Sincerity in Art." My personal favorite not that I'm going to claim to have read them all is "Where Are the Movies Moving" in which he sings the praises of his "favorite dramatic hero Felix the Cat" a careful study of whom he asserts "would teach the Germans some valuable lessons." And probably the rest of us too. . George H. Doran Company hardcover books
