1936ref. 150147London: Chatto & Windus 1936. First edition of Huxley's classic work which many consider one of his finest. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. 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. Journalist Simon Heffer has called the novel Huxley’s best book and single ‘great novel’. For Heffer the book both harkens back to Huxley’s early satires and links to the more serious and philosophical concerns of his later novels. Chatto & Windus hardcover
