Moksha

by Aldous Huxley, Eduardo Goligorsky (Translator)

Overview

Moksha is an impressive compendium of Aldous Huxley's texts about hallucinogenic drugs, their effects, their possibilities, their risks, etc. In this complete anthology, letters with scientists and researchers alternate, popular articles and short excerpts of essays and scenes from some of his novels in which drugs play an important role (The Island, A Happy World). In this field, Huxley became in his time (and continues to be) one of the most authoritative, acute, unprejudiced and lucid voices, which earned him the respect of both the scientific community and those who in the late 1950s began to experiment with LSD.

About the Author

Aldous Huxley trained at Eton and Oxford, made his name with his first predominantly satirical novels, but the success and critical attention came to him with Contrapunto, which was followed by Brave New World, perhaps his most famous work and without a doubt the most disturbing. He spent time writing film scripts in Hollywood, until he returned to the forefront with novels such as The Genius and the Goddess, Time Must Stop, Mono and Essence and The Island. He is also the author of influential essays, including The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, New Visit to a Happy World or those gathered in If My Library Burns Tonight.
