HUXLEY, Aldous. EYELESS IN GAZA. London: Chatto & Windus, 1936. First 
Edition. Cloth-backed decorated boards. Copy #167 of 200 copies SIGNED 
by the author on the limitation page. This autobiographical novel with a 
pacifist theme was the first book by Huxley published after BRAVE NEW 
WORLD. Its title derives from a phrase in John Milton's SAMSON AGONISTES 
and, as with Milton's poem, recalls the biblical story of Samson, who 
was captured by the Philistines, his eyes burned out, and taken to Gaza, 
where he was forced to work grinding grain in a mill. Issued without 
dustwrapper or slipcase. Light wear to corners; mild foxing to the title 
and limitation pages. Near Fine.         $450.00
