When in 1947 Aldous Huxley wrote the article that gives title to this volume, he could not even imagine that fifteen years later his Los Angeles library would really be ablaze, but this is a coincidence and an anticipation very typical of the author of works such as A Happy World and The Island. Planning and analyzing problems that were just beginning to emerge, in addition to a particularly sharp style and a very rigorous thinking, is one of the hallmarks of Huxley, from whom essays on topics as diverse and suggestive as Too Many Books are gathered here.

Autorenporträt
Aldous Huxley trained at Eton and Oxford, made his name with his first predominantly satirical novels, but the success and critical attention came to him with Contrapunto, which was followed by Brave New World, perhaps his most famous work and without a doubt the most disturbing. He spent time writing film scripts in Hollywood, until he returned to the forefront with novels such as The Genius and the Goddess, Time Must Stop, Mono and Essence and The Island. He is also the author of influential essays, including The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, New Visit to a Happy World or those gathered in If My Library Burns Tonight.
