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"
"The Doors of Perception":

"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!
