A Nearly Fine copy of the book on account of gentle cocking of the spine in VG dust jacket with a few small chips at the crown and corners; spine slightly toned. Contemporary owner's name on the front endpaper. Overall a pleasing copy.<br/><br/>A defining moment in the genre of the dystopian novel Brave New World considers the dangers that new technologies and mass modernization pose to the very core of humanness. Rather than depicting these developments as gateways to utopia as writers such as H.G. Wells had done Huxley foreshadowed how radically technology and psychological conditioning could limit individual rights ranging from sexuality and reproduction to creativity to love. A "nightmarish prognostication of a future in which humanity has been destroyed by science" DNB. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Chatto & Windus unknown books

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
