In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Ape and Essence (1948) is a novel by Aldous Huxley (1894-1963). It is set in a dystopia like his famous work Brave New World. It is largely a satire of the rise of large-scale warfare and warmongering in the 20th century, and presents a pessimistic view of the politics of mutually assured destruction. The book makes use of surreal imagery, depicting humans as apes who will inevitably kill themselves. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is in lovely condition, though there are faint marks to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for a couple of marks to the front free end paper.
