Ape and Essence: A Novel.
HUXLEY, Aldous.
Item Number: 126303
London: Chatto & Windus, 1951.
First collected edition of Huxley’s dystopian novel. Octavo, original cloth. Very good in the original dust jacket with wear and tear.
Ape and Essence is presented in its entirety, without remark by interruption, footnote or afterword. Largely a satire of the rise of large-scale warfare and warmongering in the 20th century, the dystopian novel presents a pessimistic view of the politics of mutually assured destruction, depicting humans as apes who, as a whole, will inevitably meet demise.
