Aldous Huxley

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.
