"O BRAVE NEW WORLD THAT HAS SUCH PEOPLE IN IT": FIRST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR’S CLASSIC NOVEL
First edition. Octavo, original blue cloth. Signed and dated by Aldous Huxley in 1959 on the front free endpaper. Near fine in an exceptionally bright dust jacket with only minor light rubbing to the edges. Rare and desirable signed by Huxley.
"After the success of his first three novels, Huxley abandoned the fictional milieu of literary London and directed his satire toward an imagined future. He admitted that the original idea of Brave New World was to challenge H.G. Wells’ Utopian vision The novel also marks Huxley’s increasing disenchantment with the world, which was to result in his leaving England for California in 1937 in search of a more spiritual life. The book was immediately successful" (Parker & Kermode).
