"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow": First Edition of Aldous Huxley's Brief Candles; Signed by Him
First signed limited edition of Huxley's fifth collection of short fiction. Octavo, original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine. Boldly signed by Aldous Huxley on the half-title page. In near fine condition.
Huxley's fifth collection of short fiction, Brief Candles contains four short stories: Chawdron, The Rest Cure, The Claxtons, and After the Fireworks. Brief Candles takes its title from a line in William Shakespeare's Macbeth, from Macbeth's famous soliloquy: "Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
