The essays that appear in On the Margin are a testimony to the polymathic reach of Aldous Huxley’s intellect, as well as to the relish with which he entered into some of his more surprising enthusiasms. As perceptive and assured in discussing the art of the advertisement and the limericks of Edward Lear as he is in expounding on the “gorgeous spiritual measles” of the European Renaissance, Huxley also writes with genuine warmth and charm about the pleasures of everyday life—about the satisfactions to be derived from a properly bound book or the maddening euphony of a dripping tap. This is an indispensable collection from an underrated master of the essay form.
"Kontrapunkt"Kontrapunkt" - krupnejshee proizvedenie Oldosa Khaksli, opisyvajuschee neskolko mesjatsev iz zhizni intellektualnoj londonskoj elity. Zdes net glavnykh dejstvujuschikh lits ili osnovnoj sjuzhetnoj linii. Kak i muzykalnyj kontrapunkt, predpolagajuschij sochetanie dvukh i bolee melodicheskikh golosov, roman Khaksli - eto perepletenie raznykh sudeb, rasskaz o zhizni mnogikh ljudej, tak ili inache popadajuschikh v pole pisatelskogo zrenija. Oni vstrechajutsja v kafe i restoranakh, khodjat na velikosvetskie priemy, ssorjatsja, spletnichajut, zloslovjat. Vo vsem etom net nikakoj tseli - odna bessmyslennaja mnogogolositsa.

Kazhetsja, dovolno banalnaja istorija. Sjuzhet romana dejstvitelno prost: u znamenitogo uchenogo est bozhestvennoj krasoty zhena. I molodoj talantlivyj uchenik. Konechno zhe, mezhdu uchenikom i "boginej" vspykhivaet strast. Ni k chemu khoroshemu eto privesti ne mozhet. Chego zhe esche zhdat ot ljubovnogo treugolnika? No Oldos Khaksli sumel napolnit etu istoriju glubinoj, zatronut vazhnejshie voprosy o roke i lichnom vybore, o konflikte mezhdu chuvstvom i dolgom, o chesti i ljubvi.
