Music at Night and Other Essays
The essays in this book cover different subjects, such as morality in arts ('To the Puritan All Things are Impure', a defence of his friend D. H. Lawrence), music ("After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music", he writes in 'The Rest is Silence'), similarities in the behaviour of men and cats ('Sermons in Cats').
Part of these essays may be regarded as a description of changes in society at the first half of the 20th century: 'Forehead Villanious Low' deals with the fruits of universal education, while 'Art and the Great Truth' defines modernist literature.

Aldous Huxley
Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) est un écrivain, philosophe et visionnaire britannique, célèbre pour son roman *Le meilleur des mondes* (1932), devenu un pilier de la littérature dystopique. Issu d'une famille intellectuelle, il explore dans ses œuvres les dangers du progrès scientifique, du conditionnement social et de la perte de liberté. *Retour au meilleur des mondes* (1958) confirme son statut de penseur majeur du XXe siècle, analysant avec lucidité les dérives de la modernité. Son œuvre, à la fois littéraire et philosophique, continue d'inspirer et de questionner les sociétés contemporaines.
