Can anybody advise me which are the most prominent of Huxley's essays? I am from Bulgaria and don't have access to his original texts, except what I've found on the Internet. I am eager to translate some of his essays and I need your help. I would be grateful if anyone can supply me with links to Huxley's best essays. I myself did some search on the webm but found only "The Perennial Philosophy", "On Self-Trancendence" and "Culture and Individual".

Some of Huxley's more famous essays can be found in the books: "Ends & Means" and "Brave New World Revisited"

Cheers,

You might also look at "The Doors of Perception" and "Heaven and Hell"

"Beliefs" and "Religious Practices" from the book Ends and Means are noteworthy essays worthy of translating. I cannot say they are more prominent than that volume itself, but they are excellent. The essay, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow," from a collection by the same name, is a prominent essay. Also "Knowledge and Understanding" from that same volume. Good luck!

Hmmm... those aren't bad essays for translation, actually I've read those and it's very interesting. Essay writing (http://www.essaywriter.co.uk/) is a nature skill that we could acquire with these essays.

Doors of Percetion & Heaven and Hell are two great books filled with great essays. If you're looking for further reading and knowledge regarding Huxley's fascination with Mind-at-Large and mystical experiences, pick up Doors of Perception.

P.S.-- The copy i have has both essays in one publication (doors of perception & heaven and hell).
