London, Chatto & Windus, 1928-1932. First edition. Cloth. Two smart first editions of these works from English philosopher and author Aldous Huxley. Two volumes. First edition. Written by Aldous Leonard Huxley, an English writer and philosopher who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature nine times, and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature. This set contains: Point Counter Point, 1928. Huxley's longest novel, and notably more complex and serious than his earlier fiction. The novel's title is a reference to the flow of arguments in a debate, and a series of these exchanges tell the story. Instead of a single central plot, there are a number of interlinked story lines and recurring themes. Rotunda: A Selection from the Works of Aldous Huxley, 1932. A collection of the fiction, poems, drama, essays, and travel writings of Huxley. With titles including: Uncle Spencer, Leda, The World of Light, Sabbioneta, and Meditation on El Greco, amongst others. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light wear to the extremities and the odd small mark to the boards. Small splits in the cloth to the head and tail of Rotunda as well as the front joint. Light fading to the spines. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot and minor age toning to the endpapers. Light spotting to the fore-edge of Point Counter Point with a newspaper article pasted to the front free endpaper. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
