«He writes with an easy assurance and a command of classical and modern cross-references.»
Christopher Hitchens, Los Angeles Times
In this fourth volume of a projected six, Huxley registers his deep misgivings about the course of history in the late 1930s as the world moved toward a second global war. Many of his essays reflect his continuing interest in the conventions of popular culture as well as the philosophy of science and history, particularly as they inform developments in art and politics.
