Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) was a British novelist, essayist, and intellectual who moved between the worlds of literature, science, and philosophy with the ease of a polymath. Born into one of England's most distinguished intellectual families—his grandfather was Thomas Henry Huxley, Darwin's great champion—he was nearly blinded by illness as a teenager and turned to writing with a ferocious intelligence.
