24 Miscellany


69029 CHARCOAL SKETCHES AND OTHER TALES by Henryk Sienkiewicz


Sienkiewicz was once the most widely known of Polish writers and his novel Quo Vadis won him the Nobel Prize in 1905. Here is a headlong satire on village life in Russian-ruled Poland where Tsarist administration encourages corruption and promotes injustice with bureaucratic aplomb. He is at his best as an observer of character in the first two stories, Charcoal Sketches and Bartek the Conqueror. In the third story, On the Bright Shore, he tells the story of an affair between an artist and a beautiful widow of dubious reputation among the Polish community on the Riviera. 211pp, paperback. £6.95 NOW £2


69806 ANTIC HAY by Aldous Huxley Wickedly funny and deliciously barbed, this novel epitomises the glittering neuroticism of the 1920s. When inspiration leads Theodore Gumbril to design a type of pneumatic trouser to ease the discomfort of the sedentary life, he decides the time has come to give up teaching and seek his fortune in the Metropolis. Soon he finds himself caught up in the hedonistic world of his friends Mercaptan, Lypiatt and the thoroughly civilised Myra Viveash, and his burning ambitions begin to lose their urgency. Paperback, 295pp. £8.99 NOW £3.50


69817 BRAVE NEW WORLD by Aldous Huxley Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone in harbouring an ill-defining longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress. Shocking, dazzling, stimulating and provoking. Paperback has introductions by Margaret Atwood and David Bradshaw. 229pp in paperback. £8.99 NOW £3


69822 CROME YELLOW by Aldous Huxley Denis Stone, a naïve young poet, is invited to stay at Crome, a country house renowned for its gatherings of ‘Bright Young Things’. His host Henry Wimbush and his exotic wife Priscilla are joined by a party of colourful guests whose intrigues and opinions ensure Denis’s stay is a memorable one. First published in 1921, the novel was Huxley’s acclaimed début work of fiction. Delightful, witty, worldly and poetic. Intro by Malcolm Bradbury. 170pp. £7.99 NOW £3


69830 DOORS OF PERCEPTION by Aldous Huxley


One spring morning in 1953, Aldous Huxley took four tenths of a gramme of mescalin, sat down and waited to see what would happen, and when he opened his eyes he found everything, from flowers in a vase to the creases in his trousers were completely transformed. He describes his experience with breathtaking immediacy in this book, and its sequel ‘Heaven and Hell’ in which he goes on to explore the history and nature of mysticism. Still bristling with a sense of excitement and discovery. Foreword by J. G. Ballard. Paperback, 123pp. £7.99 NOW £3
