Inhaltsangabe

This is a collection of Huxley's writings taken largely from the last decade of his life. He explores the brave new dawn of the psychedelic mind-altering drugs, mescalin and LSD. He discusses their political, medical and ethical implications and describes his own experience of them, in the fulness of life and at the hour of his death. These accounts, amplified and interpreted by his wife and others who knew him, tell the story of a great writer's personal journey down the elusive path to the ineffable.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Aldous Huxley was born in 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, ‘Crome Yellow’ (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by ‘Antic Hay (1923), ‘Those Barren Leaves’ (1925) and ‘Point Counter Point ‘(1928) – bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society.
