Description:
Aldous Huxley, born 1894, is best known for his fictional dystopian novel Brave New World, as well as his non-fiction account of his experiences with psychedelics, The Doors of Perception. He was adept at writing a variety of genres, however, including poetry, literary criticism, screenplays, and short stories. Little Mexican, alternatively known as Young Archimedes in the US and first published in 1924 was Huxley's third collection of short stories, which he primarily wrote in Italy between 1923-1924. There are six stories in total, some of which are semi-autobiographical in nature. The stories in the volume are, "Uncle Spencer," "Little Mexican," "Hubert and Minnie," "Fard," "The Portrait," and "Young Archimedes."
This edition may be described as being in Very Good condition. There is some bumping to the corners and ends of the spine, but the pages are clear and save for some mild age-related discolouration are in excellent condition. There is a previous owners name and date on the front… Read More

A sequence of amphetamine-fuelled metaphysical explorations combining the Satanic, astrological, and psychedelic in equal measure, with just a dash of biker lore.
