U-Aldous uLeonard Huxley, owakhe u-biography waqala e-UK, uqhubela phambili lohlobo, owaziwayo ngabantu abanetalente. U-Aldous uLeonard Huxley, ongu-biography ongayifumana izinto ezininzi ezithakazelisayo, unyana wombhali uLeonard Huxley. Kwaye i-biographe yomkhulu wakhe, uTomas Huxley - yinto yezinto eziphilayo. Ukongezelela, phakathi kootatomkhulu kunye no-grandfathers of Huxley, kukho ezininzi izazinzulu, abaculi kunye nabalobi. Ngokomzekelo, ukuba uthatha umgca unina kaHuxley, owathi uLeonard watshata ngelo xesha, wayengumzukulu wembali-mlando kunye nootitshala uTomas Arnold kunye nomshana womlobi uTomas Arnold. Njengoko sibona, uLeonard wakhetha umfazi ofanayo ofundayo kwintsapho ehlakaniphile, njengoko yena ngokwakhe. U-Aldous wayenabo babomalume ababini, uJulian noAndreya, ababengabazi-biologists abaziwayo.
Ubuntwana be-Aldous bebuhlungu kakhulu. Kwintsapho yakhe, phakathi kweengqondo zaseBrithani, wafunda ukufunda iincwadi ezilungileyo, ukuphulaphula umculo omnandi nokuqonda ubugcisa. Njengomntwana, uAldous wayenelungelo elaneleyo. Indawo yokuqala ebomnyama ukuba i-Huxley biography efunyenwe yiyo ukufa komama wakhe. Emva koko umlobi wexesha elizayo wayengeneminyaka elishumi elinesithathu ubudala kwaye oku, okwenene, yayiyintlekele kuye. Uphawu lwesibini olungathandekiyo lokuba i-biography ye-biography eyayifumene yayisifo sesiso esaqala ukukhula xa uAldous eneminyaka elishumi elinesithandathu. Wayekhokelela ekuphazamisekeni kombono, ngoko umfana wakhululwa kwimisebenzi yempi ngexesha leMfazwe Yehlabathi yokuqala. Ngendlela, u-Aldous ngokwakhe wayebandakanyekile ekulungiseni umbono wakhe kwaye wayichaza kwakhona kwiphephancwadana eyayishicilelwe ngo-1943, eyabizwa ngokuthi "Indlela yokulungisa umbono."
Ukuba sithetha ngendlela yokudala yomlobi, kubalulekile ukuba siqaphele ukuba inveli yokuqala yabhalwa ngu-Aldous eneminyaka elishumi elinesixhenxe. Ngelo xesha, wafunda iincwadi kwiBakala laseBalliol e-Oxford. Le ncwadana ayizange ishicilelwe, kodwa kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini iHuxley yazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba wayefuna ukuba umbhali kwaye akukho mnye umdla onomdla kuye.
Zonke iireveli ezibhalwa ngu-Aldous zihlanganisa into enye-ukungabikho komntu kwintlalo eqhubekayo. Abantu abaninzi bayazi kwaye bayayithanda incwadi yakhe ethi "Oh Oh World Brave! ". Kodwa akuyena wonke umntu ufunda enye incwadi yomlobi, eyadala iminyaka engamashumi amabini emva kokuqala ukubona umhlaba. Le ncwadi ibizwa ngokuba "Buyela kwihlabathi elitsha elitsha." Kulo, u-Huxley uthi iziganeko ezichazwe kwincwadi yokuqala ayisoyiki kakhulu. Enyanisweni, yonke into ingaba yimbi ngakumbi kwaye ibuhlungu. Zonke iindaba ezichasene ne-Huxley zibilisa phantsi kweyona nto yokuba abantu baqhubela phambili ngokweenkcubeko, ngokugqithiseleyo kulahlekelwa yintliziyo nomphefumlo. Abantu abanakukwazi ukuqonda kunye nokudlula yonke into njengoko benza ngaphambili. Ngokuchasene noko, iimvakalelo ziba yinto enzima kwaye ingavunyelwe. Ziyabonakalisa uluntu olungileyo, kuba zibenza bazive zimele, bacinge ngezenzo zabo, kwaye bangenzi njengokuba abasemagunyeni besithi, ngokungahambisani naso yonke imiyalelo nemimiselo. Kwihlabathi elitsha ezimangalisayo, akukho nto enjengobungane, uthando kunye novelwano. Ngokuchanekileyo, akufanele kube njalo. Ukuba umntu uzama ukubonisa iimvakalelo, lo mntu makangaphathiswa okanye angatshatyalaliswa. Enyanisweni, u-Huxley ubonisa ngokucacileyo ihlabathi apho sonke sizama. Emva kwakho konke, akukho sisifo kunye nomlwi kuwo, kuba abantu abasayi kufuna ukunqoba nokwabelana ngento ethile. Kodwa kwakhona akukho mvakalelo kunye neziqhotyoshelwano kuyo. Ukufunda umsebenzi weHuxley, wonke umntu ucinga ngokungathandabuzekiyo ngendlela angathanda ngayo kwaye angaphila kwihlabathi elinjalo, kwaye yintoni umqondo wobomi obuqhelekileyo kubantu abaqhelekileyo, kwaye yintoni kulabo abanamandla phezu kwabo kwaye bazama ukufumana inzuzo kuyo yonke into , kunokuba bangayisebenzisa.
Kodwa, ubuyela kwi-biography yeHuxley. Ngo-1937 wafika eLos Angeles kunye nomcebisi wakhe uGerald Gerd. Ngelo xesha, u-Aldous waphinda waqala ukuhlahloka kwaye wayethemba kakhulu ukuba isimo sezulu esifudumele saseCalifornia sinokumncedisa ubuncinci ukuyeka isi sifo. Kwakuyixa ehlala eLos Angeles, uAldous waqala ixesha lakhe elitsha lokubhala. Ukwazi ngokubanzi kwaye uchaze isiseko somntu kunye nomlingiswa. Ukongezelela, kwakukho ngeli xesha uHuxley wadibana noJeddah Krishnamurti. Nye kunye naye, umbhali uqala ukubandakanya ngokuzibandakanya ulwazi lwakhe, ukufundisisa iimfundiso ezahlukeneyo zobulumko kunye nobuxoki. Ngaphantsi kwempembelelo yokufunda imisebenzi enjalo kunye nezikhokelo ezithi uAldous ubhale imisebenzi enjengokuthi "Ufilosofi ongunaphakade", "NgeMinyaka emininzi". Ngo-1953, u-Huxley uyavuma ukuthatha inxaxheba kwindlela yokuzama ukuyingozi, apho uHumphrey Osmond wayefuna ukubonakalisa indlela i-mescaline echaphazela ngayo ingqondo yabantu.
Ngenzeka, kwintetho kunye noHumphrey ukuba igama elithi "psychedelic" lisetyenziswe kuqala. Wachaza imeko eyenzeka kumntu ophethwe ngu-mescaline. Emva koko umbhali wachaza zonke iimvakalelo zakhe amabali amabini. Esi sincoko esithi "Inkundla Yengqiqo" kunye "neParadesi neGehena." Phakathi kwabo wabhala malunga nayo yonke into awayevakalelwa ngayo ngexesha lokulinga, okuthi, ngokulandeleleneyo, yabanjwa ngezihlandlo ezilishumi. Ngendlela, kwakusuka kwisihloko sesincoko "umnyango wokuqonda" ukuba iqela lenkolo libizwa ngokuba yiDors. Ukusetyenziswa kweziyobisi kwathonya umsebenzi womlobi. Kubonakala sengathi uye waqwalasela imbono yakhe kunye nokuchasana nokuqala ukuqala ukuya kwiindawo ezintle. Ngokomzekelo, kwincwadi ethi "Isiqithi" uluntu olungaphelelwanga alubonakaliswa njengento engalunganga kwaye inenkohlakalo. Ngokuphambene noko, kuyamkeleka kwaye ubude obude buphila.
Iminyaka yokugqibela iHuxley ihlupheke kwisifo esibi. Wayenomdlavuza womqala. Emva kokufa kwakhe, akukho mibhalo yesandla eseleyo, kuba, kungekudala ngaphambi kwesi siganeko esibuhlungu, indlu yatshiswa kwaye yonke imiqulu kunye neirekodi zavutha kunye naye. UHuxley wafa ngowe-1963. Ebona indlela yokufa kwaye engafuni ukuhlupheka, wabuza umfazi wakhe ukuba angenele i-LSD kuye. Kwakunomthamo ophezulu kakhulu, kodwa umfazi wakhe wavuma oko kwaye wajola i-milligram ye-LSD. Emva koko, uAldous Leonard Huxley wadlula.
