Product Description
Aldous Huxley was born in Britain in 1894 into a world of privilege and class. The grandson of evolutionist T. H. Huxley and the great-nephew of poet Matthew Arnold, Huxley bore a great sense of moral obligation. In this accessible new biography, Sawyer explores Huxley's life and the impact it had on his writings, including his classic, Brave New World, which celebrated its 70th anniversary recently.

Excellent Read March 2, 2004
I enjoyed the book. When I read it, I felt that the author was a close friend of Huxley's. If any reader plans on reading any books by Huxley, please read this informative, well-written biography first.

Laura Huxley herself said to Sawyer [paraphrased], "Out of all the biographies written about Aldous, this is the only one he would have actually liked." With emphasis on philosophical studies and works, it is the definitive source for understanding Huxley's influence and ideas. Being a student myself at Maine College of Art, I can vouch for the know-how of Sawyer.
