A novel by the author of Brave New World. \"Ape and Essence (1948) is a novel by Aldous Huxley, published by Chatto \u0026amp; Windus in the UK and Harper \u0026amp; Row in the US. It is set in a dystopia, similar to Brave New World, Huxley's more famous work. It is largely a satire of the rise of large-scale warfare and warmongering in the 20th century, and presents a pessimistic view of the politics of mutually assured destruction. The book makes extensive use of surrealist imagery, depicting humans as apes who, as a whole, will inevitably commit suicide.\"","brand":"Harper \u0026 Brothers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29398477930566,"sku":"2290440","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2290440.jpg?v=1571427159","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/ape-and-essence","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
