About This Item
London: Chatto and Windus, 1921. A first edition, first printing published by Chatto and Windus. A very good copy without inscriptions. White label is in good condition with the green top stain faded but present. Some light off-setting to the endpapers. A little wear to the corners. Beautiful rich colour to the boards with some handling marks. Aldous Huxley's "Crome Yellow," published in 1921, is a satirical novel that reflects the cultural and intellectual milieu of the early 20th century. Set at an English country estate, it offers a dissection of the aristocracy's decline, portraying a cast of eccentric characters grappling with existential and intellectual questions. The novel serves as a precursor to Huxley's more famous works, including "Brave New World," and explores themes of modernity, individualism, and the tension between tradition and progress. Through its witty critique of society, "Crome Yellow" provides a glimpse into the intellectual concerns of its time and serves as a valuable piece of social and literary history.
