Brave New World: Klett English Editions
Autor Aldous Huxleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2007
"A masterpiece. . . . One of the most prophetic dystopian works." —Wall Street Journal
The beautifully designed Harper Perennial Deluxe Edition of Brave New World also includes Huxley's essay, "Brave New World Revisited" and features a foreword by Christopher Hitchens
Aldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order—all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization.
Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as a thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.

Notă biografică
Aldous Huxley wurde am 26. Juli 1894 in Godalming in England geboren und starb am 22. November 1963 in Los Angeles in den USA. Er war ein britischer Schriftsteller.
Aldous Leonard Huxley wurde als Sohn des Schriftstellers Leonard Huxley und seiner Frau Julia in eine Wissenschaftler- und Intellektuellenfamilie hineingeboren. Er besuchte das berühmte Eton College in Berkshire. In dieser Zeit starb seine Mutter, als er erst vierzehn Jahre alt war. 1911 wurde er durch eine Augenerkrankung auf einem Auge für drei Jahre beinahe blind. Dennoch studierte er ab 1913 Literatur in Oxford. Mit 22 veröffentlichte Huxley sein erstes Buch "The Burning Wheel". Sein Studium schloss er mit Bestnote ab.
Nach einigen Monaten bei der Royal Air Force und Tätigkeit als Lehrer heiratete er 1919 die Bulgarin Maria Nys, mit der er ein Jahr später seinen ersten Sohn bekam. Er arbeitete nun als Journalist, Kunstkritiker und Schriftsteller. Seine folgenden Romane behandelten die Entmenschlichung der Gesellschaft durch den wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt, insbesondere sein bekanntestes Werk "Brave New World" von 1932, das das Bild einer totalitären, düsteren Industriegesellschaft zeichnet.
1937 wanderte Huxley nach Kalifornien aus und beschäftigte sich mit buddhistischen Lehren, Mystik und Psyche. In dieser Zeit experimentierte er auch mit der halluzinogenen Droge Meskalin. Nachdem seine Frau 1955 verstorben war, heiratete er ein Jahr später erneut. Es erschienen weitere Essays und Bücher, zuletzt 1962 der Roman "Island".
Aldous Huxley starb am 22. November 1963 an Kehlkopfkrebs. An seinem Todestag ließ er sich von seiner Frau hohe Dosen der Droge LSD verabreichen.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Now more than ever, “one of the most prophetic dystopian works of the twentieth century” (Wall Street Journal) must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit in the face of our brave new world.
Aldous Huxley’s profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order whose motto is “Community, Identity, Stability”—all at the cost of our freedom, humanity, and perhaps our souls.
“A genius who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning as we head into tomorrow and a thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a twenty-first-century world dominated by mass entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.
