Aldous Huxley came to literary fame in 1921 with his first novel, <i jquery11110762538854864053="204">Crome Yellow. With the novels <i jquery11110762538854864053="205">Antic Hay, <i jquery11110762538854864053="206">Those Barren Leaves and <i jquery11110762538854864053="207">Point Counter Point, Huxley quickly established a reputation for bright, brilliant satires that ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. In later life, exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs dominated Huxley's writing, including his first-person account of experiencing mescaline in <i jquery11110762538854864053="208">The Doors of Perception.
