This collection includes essays by the classic English writer Aldous Huxley, written between 1931 and 1963, published in Russian for the first time. Of particular interest are his reflections on world order and the prospects for social development, published on the eve of and shortly after World War II. Huxley not only raises questions that remain relevant today but also offers solutions—utopian only at first glance. Other essays in the collection include travel notes, reflections on art, and reflections on his transcendental experience. The book was illustrated by Sasha Skochilenko.
