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, Jake 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. 410 0$aCritical Lives 610 $aEnglish Literature 676 $a823.912 700 $aPoller$b Jake$01617820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827372803321 996 $aAldous Huxley$94096858 997 $aUNINA
