Brave New World Revisited (P.S.)
Aldous Huxley
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2006
The best book you can read. period.
If you haven't read Brave New World and 1984, I suggest you read both of those first. Then you can truly appreciate this work of staggering insight into the world of today. This is the book (or collection of essays) written by Huxley in 1958, 27 years after he ...

Dystopia, i long for thee
I purchased Brave New World after reading 1984, and while I must confess that I enjoyed Orwell's book just a little bit more, Huxley's work was still an immediately compelling read. I think what I liked best was just how "british" this future was, by which I mean, ...
Point Counter Point (British Literature)
Aldous Huxley
Dalkey Archive Press
, 1996
Huxley is the 20th Century Thackery!
Many years ago I saw the Masterpiece dramatization of Aldous Huxley's "Point Counter Point." I have finally found time to sit down and read the original text. This is a wonderful novel. Huxley's command of English is striking. He is an artist- except that he uses words ...
The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell (Perennial Classics)
Aldous Huxley
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2004
Politically Incorrect, Yet Spiritually Relevant
Aldous Huxley was ahead of his time. And yet, he was right where he needed to be. In a time when modern society had not quite caught on to the mind-expanding powers of psycho-active drugs, psychology was still interested in how they might be used in a beneficial way. ...
Island (Perennial Classics)
Aldous Huxley
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2002
Published in 1962, but still relevant!
I absolutely loved this book! Eckhart Tolle in "The Power of Now" actually references this book and that is how I heard of it. Despite the fact that much of the book is ruled by long monologues from the characters, I enjoyed it all. Huxley had an interesting view of ...
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
Flamingo
, 1977
An interesting twist on an alternate reality
This book is a great classic written by an amazing author. it brings us almost 700 years into the future to a world where Ford is God and humans beings are manufactured and designated into different mental classes at birth. they range from the athletic and intelligent ...
Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited
Aldous Huxley
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2005
Mood controlling pills and uniformity
As I watch the commercials for Zoloft and other psychiatric drugs that are frequently encouraged to the general public today thanks to advertising, I can't help but smell the essence of the stew descibed by Huxley in this wonderful book simmering in our own modern ...

The Perennial Philosophy (Perennial Classics)
Aldous Huxley
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2004
Beauty Stands And Waits
About twenty or so years ago, I had an awakening of sorts. Strange how life can be. One minute you're slicing a banana atop your corn flakes, and the next minute you're looking straight into the Light that all things are created in and out of. And after I had that ...
Complete Essays, Vol. 5: 1939-1956
Aldous Huxley
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
, 2002
At their best, Huxley's essays stand among the finest examples of the genre in modern literature. From 1938 to 1956 Aldous Huxley continues to explore the role of science and technology in modern culture, and seeks a final level of foundational Truth that might provide the basis for his growing interest in religious mysticism. It is in this period ...

Antic Hay
Aldous Huxley
Dalkey Archive Press
, 2007
Antic Hay
This novel is quintessential Huxley. Virtually plotless, written in a lively, engaging style, sardonic and hilarious. There is no one and nothing that escapes his razor-sharp pen, and he mocks with sarcastic understanding. Antic Hay is full of the smirk of the ...
Ape and Essence
Aldous Huxley
Ivan R. Dee, Publisher
, 1992
Brilliant and Intriguing
I was glued to this book. Huxley has amazing foresight, and although some of the ideas in the book are a bit out there, it doesn't detract from the important ideas that the book presents. He makes many good points on where the world could all to easily lead with just ...

Aldous Huxley
Park Street Press
, 1999
This book has truly opened up my mind
Alduos Huxley is a brilliant man. This book has made me think about things in a whole new way. I love the letters he writes. The book is divided into 40 chapters. I read it slowly, a chapter or two at a time over a period of a few months. It wasn't one of those books ...
