Beschreibung

In "Selected Poems," Aldous Huxley presents a curated collection that traverses the complexities of human experience through evocative imagery and philosophical depth. The poems encapsulate Huxley's signature lyrical style, marked by a keen attentiveness to language and a probing intellect that explores themes of nature, existential inquiry, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century literary movements, Huxley's work reflects the tension between modernity and spirituality, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the intellectual climate of his time. Aldous Huxley, renowned for his dystopian novel "Brave New World," was deeply influenced by his eclectic academic background and rich familial heritage in literature and science. His diverse experiences, including his interest in philosophy, psychology, and the human psyche, significantly informed his poetic voice. Furthermore, his exposure to various cultures and ideologies during his travels enriched his literary inquiries, making his poetry both introspective and expansive in its thematic scope. "Selected Poems" is a must-read for those seeking profound reflections on existence and beauty. Huxley's mastery of verse invites readers into a contemplative journey, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the intersections of poetry, philosophy, and the human experience.

Unlike his more famous fellow war poets, Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon survived the First World War.   In this collection of 64 poems, first published in 1920,  Sassoon portrays the dehumanizing horror of modern warfare with its staggering death toll, while also satiring the jingoistic fervour of politicians and armchair strategists.   
Sassoon's own war service fell into two distinct periods.  The first was marked by a number of heroic actions on the battlefield which earned him the Military Cross.  However, after a period of convalescence in 1917, Sasson became a pacifist and refused to return to active duty.  This change of attitude was diagnosed as a psychological disorder and he was posted to Ireland where he trained new recruits.  By the end of the war he had been promoted to captain. For the rest of his long life he remained staunchly anti-war.
