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.

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.

Recenzii
“[A]
masterpiece.
...
One
of
the
most
prophetic
dystopian
works
of
the
20th
century.”
“As sparkling, as provocative, as brilliant...as the day it was published.”
“One of the 20th century’s greatest writers.”
“Chilling. . . . That he gave us the dark side of genetic engineering in 1932 is amazing.”
“A genius . . . a writer who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine.”
“Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English.”
“Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931. It is a frightening experience, indeed, to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time.”
“A sometimes appallingly accurate view of today’s world.”
“It’s time for everyone to read or reread Brave New World.”
