Rare, Collectable, Folios | Fiction

Published in 1949 (Second impression). 
Ape and Essence 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 novel is divided into two sections, "Tallis"—the name of the novel's character most like Huxley himself—and "the Script"—the screenplay titled Ape and Essence which Tallis had submitted to the studio (it was rejected on 26 November 1947, a fortnight before his death, but not returned to him).

Good condition. Pages, cover, spine - intact and sound. Light tannning on front and back pages and on page edges.  Name inscribed at top of first page. Cover - grey cloth boards with gilt lettering on blue blackground on spine. No dust jacket.
