Ape and Essence : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ape and Essence
''Ape and Essence'' (1948) is a novel by Aldous Huxley, published by Chatto & Windus in the UK and Harper & Brothers in the US. It is set in a dystopia, similar to that in ''Brave New World'', Huxley's more famous work. It is largely a satire of the rise of large-scale warfare and warmongering in the 20th century, and presents a pessimistic view of the politics of mutually assured destruction. The book makes extensive use of surreal imagery, depicting humans as apes who, as a whole, will inevitably kill themselves. ==Structure== The novel is divided into two sections, ''Tallis''—the name of the novel's character most like Huxley himself—and ''the Script''—the screenplay titled ''Ape and Essence'' which Tallis had submitted to the studio (it was rejected on 26 November 1947, a fortnight before his death, but not returned to him).〔Bantam edition, 1958 July, p11〕
