This review is from: Do What You Will (Collected works of Aldous Huxley) (Hardcover)

Huxley shows a wide range in this collection of essays, with observations on everything from the Odyssey to the "talkies", the latest in motion picture technology at the time these pieces were written (ca.1929).

The twelve essays are: 1. One and Many; 2. Silence is Golden; 3. Spinoza's Worm; 4. Swift; 5. Paradise; 6. Wordsworth in the Tropics; 7. Fashions in Love; 8. Francis and Grigory; 9. Baudelaire; 10. Holy Face; 11. Revolutions; 12. Pascal.
