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,
PJ
You might also look at "The Doors of Perception" and "Heaven and Hell"
The mass and majesty of this world, all
That carries weight and always weighs the same
Lay in the hands of others; they were small
And could not hope for help and no help came...

"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!
