The grandson of biologist T. H. Huxley, Aldous Huxley had a privileged background and was educated at Eton and Oxford despite an eye infection that left him nearly blind. Having learned braille his eyesight then improved enough for him to start writing, and by the 1920s he had become a fashionable figure, producing witty and daring novels like CROME YELLOW (1921), ANTIC HAY (1923) and POINT COUNTER POINT (1928). But it is as the author of his celebrated portrayal of a nightmare future society, BRAVE NEW WORLD (1932), that Huxley is remembered today. A truly visionary book, it was a watershed in Huxley''s world-view as his later work became more and more optimistic - coinciding with his move to California and experimentation with mysticism and psychedelic drugs later in life. Nicholas Murray''s brilliant new book has the greatest virtue of literary biographies: it makes you want to go out and read its subject''s work all over again. A fascinating reassessment of one of the most interesting writers of the twentieth century.

Aldous Huxley was one of the twentieth century's most prescient thinkers. This new biography is a rich and lucid account that charts the different phases of Huxley's career: from the early satirist who depicted the glamorous despair of the postwar generation, to the committed pacifist of the 1930s, the spiritual seeker of the 1940s, the psychedelic sage of the 1950s - who affirmed the spiritual potential of mescaline and LSD - to the New Age prophet of Island. While Huxley is still best known as the author of Brave New World, Poller argues that it is The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception and Island - Huxley's blueprint for a utopian society - that have had the most cultural impact.

Audiokniha: Prorocká distopie o civilizaci inženýrů lidských duší Kultovní satirická antiutopie Aldouse Huxleyho je zneklidňujícím, prorockým obrazem budoucnosti, které vládne genové inženýrství, všeobecná diktatura, zábavy a chemicky navozovaného pocitu štěstí. Neveselé podobenství o civilizaci, která se pokusila hrát si na Boha a přetvořit k obrazu svému nejen přírodu, ale i lidskou duši, je jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších děl science-fiction minulého století. Ačkoli kniha vznikla v roce 1932, její poselství je v době experimentů s lidskými kmenovými buňkami, masové spotřeby a mocných médií, jejichž mantry pronikají do všech aspektů života, stále ostře aktuální. Londýn po roce 2540, ve kterém lidé uměle zvyšují svoji spokojenost za cenu ztráty citů a emocí, konfrontuje autor s prostorem Nového Mexika, dosud nepodrobené divočiny, kde přežívá člověk netknutý „civilizací“ konzumu, který mnohem více trpí, odříká si a bojuje, ale zato také více žije. Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) Britský spisovatel, který většinu svého dospělého života prožil ve Spojených státech. Proslavil se svými utopickými a distopickými romány, ale psal i eseje, poezii, povídky, cestopisy a filmové scénáře. Svými názory byl pacifista a humanista, zajímal se o parapsychologii i filozofický mysticismus, obhajoval užívání halucinogenních látek. Své psychedelické zkušenosti popsal v legendární knize The Doors of Perception, která ovlivnila rané hnutí hippies. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In its sequel Heaven and Hell, he goes on to explore the history and nature of mysticism.

In his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited, Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley''s views on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising and government control, and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

A gripping biography by the author of Brave New WorldThe life of Father Joseph, Cardinal Richelieu''s aide, was a shocking paradox. After spending his days directing operations on the battlefield, Father Joseph would pass the night in prayer, or in composing spiritual guidance for the nuns in his care. He was an aspirant to sainthood and a practising mystic, yet his ruthless exercise of power succeeded in prolonging the unspeakable horrors of the Thirty Years'' War. In his masterful biography, Huxley explores how an intensely religious man could lead such a life and how he reconciled the seemingly opposing moral systems of religion and politics.

The definitive edition of one of the most important scientific books of the twentieth century, setting out the conceptual structure underlying evolutionary biology.This classic work by Julian Huxley, first published in 1942, captured and synthesized all that was then known about evolutionary biology and gave a name to the Modern Synthesis, the conceptual structure underlying the field for most of the twentieth century. Many considered Huxley''s book a popularization of the ideas then emerging in evolutionary biology, but in fact Evolution: The Modern Synthesis is a work of serious scholarship that is also accessible to the general educated public. It is a book in the intellectual tradition of Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley—Julian Huxley''s grandfather, known for his energetic championing of Darwin''s ideas. A contemporary reviewer called Evolution: The Modern Synthesis “the outstanding evolutionary treatise of the decade, perhaps the century.” This definitive edition brings one of the most important and successful scientific books of the twentieth century back into print.

Paul Huxley RA (b.1938) has enjoyed a distinguished career both as a painter and a teacher. Huxley''s fascinating artistic life, expertly surveyed by Jeremy Lewison, is at last given the attention that it deserves in this, the first monograph on the artist.Huxley''s early interest in abstraction chimed with the dynamism that pulsed through London''s art scene in the 1960s. Recognised as a new talent by pioneering curator Bryan Robertson, Huxley enjoyed early success in exhibitions including The New Generation, which opened at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1964. Building from this positive critical reception, and immersing himself in the vibrant artistic communities of London and New York, Huxley built a career characterised by an instinct to push boundaries and find new ways to advance the language of abstract painting. Constantly evolving, the artist''s rich body of work, highlights of which are presented here, stands as testament to a life committed to tirelessly investigating and challenging form, space and colour.

‘Engaging and highly entertaining’ Sunday Times The dramatic confrontation between the two ''mighty opposites'' of the Victorian age, brilliantly recreated by a talented young historian. Gladstone and Disraeli were the fiercest political rivals of the modern age. Their intense hatred was ideological and deeply personal. Victorian Britain ruled the oceans and vast territories ''on which the sun never set''. The vitriolic duel between Gladstone and Disraeli was nothing less than a battle to lead the richest and most powerful nation on earth. To Disraeli, his antagonist was an ''unprincipled maniac'' characterised by an ''extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy and superstition''. For Gladstone, his rival was ''The Grand Corrupter'' whose destruction he plotted ''day and night, week by week, month by month''. Victorians were electrified by the confrontation. No wonder that when Lewis Carroll''s Through the Looking-Glass appeared in 1871, so many readers recognised the great adversaries as the warring lion and unicorn ''fighting for the crown''.

Dragons and Pagodas is a gorgeously illustrated survey of chinoiserie from the 18th century to today.Chinoiserie is a term for Western art and design inspired by a largely invented vision of China. Marco Polo’s sensational account of his visit to the exotic East in the 13th century sparked a fascination with China that reached a fever pitch in the 18th century and continues to this day. Art historian and artist Aldous Bertram has long been captivated by chinoiserie. Dragons & Pagodas is organized by theme, including porcelain, color and pattern, flora, fauna, and architecture. Each chapter is bursting with images ranging from grand European summer palaces and whimsical pagoda follies to charming details of screens, porcelain figurines, and ornate plasterwork. Complete with Bertram’s own chinoiserie-inspired watercolors and collages, Dragons & Pagodas is an irresistible confection and an example of chinoiserie in its own right.“In this inspiring and informative tome, Aldous Bertram explores the influence of Asia on design elements. . . .
