La Nouvelle Edition à Paris,1947, in 12 (18,5 x 12 cm), 324 pages. Broché. +++++++ Traduction française de la pièce de théâtre d’Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) intitulée "The World of Light " publié en 1931 et qui affirme le matérialisme de l’auteur. C’est la seule comédie originale de l’auteur et elle fut créée à Londres en 1931. Elle met en scène, non sans humour, l'opposition entre les croyances spiritualistes en un au-delà dans lequel les esprits communiquent avec les vivants et les avantages purement matériels qu'on peut en tirer même sans y croire.
