Die Pforten der Wahrnehmung . Himmel und Hölle
Broschiertes Buch
Die beiden epochemachenden Essays Aldous Huxleys berichten von Entdeckugsreisen zu den »Antipoden unseres Bewusstseins«, in Regionen des Seins, die nur im Zustand der Entrückung zu erreichen sind, In den »Pforten der Wahrnehmung« schildert Huxley seine Experimente mit Meskalin, die zu einer außerordentlichen visuellen Wahrnehmungsfähigkeit führten, zum Erlebins des »Wunders der reinen Existenz«.
