Two classic complete books -- The Doors of Perception (originally published in 1954) and Heaven and Hell (originally published in 1956) -- in which Aldous Huxley, author of the bestselling Brave New World, explores, as only he can, the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness. These two astounding essays are among the most profound studies of the effects of mind-expanding drugs written in the twentieth century. These two books became essential for the counterculture during the 1960s and influenced a generation's perception of life.

"Whether you agree that the experiment was worth trying or feel that the author is knocking on doors that should be left untouched, you are likely to admit that a challenge is forcibly put, that ideas are freshly and prodigally presented, and that even to try to answer Mr. Huxley honestly might well be a valuable experience in itself for the hostile reader."

J.H. Jackson, San Francisco Chronicle, 02/18/1954

"The comparisons which [Huxley] draws between the kind of consciousness that he experienced and the vision of certain artists and mystics throw some new light on the nature of pure perception."
