Brave New World (Vintage Huxley)
De (autor) Aldous Huxleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – September 2004
Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress... Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The
astonishing
novel
Brave
New
World,
originally
published
in
1932,
presents
Aldous
Huxley's
legendary
vision
of
a
world
of
tomorrow
utterly
transformed.
In
Huxley's
darkly
satiric
yet
chillingly
prescient
imagining
of
a
"utopian"
future,
humans
are
genetically
designed
and
pharmaceutically
anesthetized
to
passively
serve
a
ruling
order.
A
powerful
work
of
speculative
fiction
that
has
enthralled
and
terrified
readers
for
generations,
it
remains
remarkably
relevant
to
this
day
as
both
a
warning
to
be
heeded
and
as
a
thought-provoking
yet
satisfying
entertainment.
This deluxe edition also includes the nonfiction work "Brave New World Revisited," "a thought-jabbing, terrifying book" (Chicago Tribune), first published in 1958. It is a fascinating essay in which Huxley compares the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World. He scrutinizes threats to humanity such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them.
With a Foreword by Christopher Hitchens

Recenzii
“A brilliant tour de force . . . Full of barbed wit and malice-spiked frankness . . . Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling.” —THE OBSERVER
“Ingenious wit, derisive logic and swiftness of expression . . . Huxley’s resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed.” —THE TIMES (LONDON)
“The Utopia to end Utopias.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES
“An exuberant playground for ideas . . . Brave New World (like Nineteen Eighty-Four) is a novel part of whose instinctive horror is generated by the fact that it foresees a world where novels are no longer possible . . . Brave New World presents itself as a measure of what would be lost in the brave new world of AF 632. No more novels, no more Huxleys. A darker than dark age is coming . . . In the meanwhile Brave New World remains the most readable of grumpy dystopias.”
