À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit "A masterpiece. . . . One of the most prophetic dystopian works." --Wall Street Journal 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.

Reviews
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] masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century." -- Wall Street Journal "As sparkling, as provocative, as brilliant...as the day it was published." -- Martin Green "One of the 20th century's greatest writers." -- Washington Post "Chilling. . . . That he gave us the dark side of genetic engineering in 1932 is amazing." -- Providence Journal-Bulletin "A genius . . . a writer who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine." -- The New Yorker "Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English." -- Chicago Tribune "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." -- New York Times Book Review "A sometimes appallingly accurate view of today's world." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "It's time for everyone to read or reread Brave New World." -- Raleigh News & Observer

  • Strange but good

    This book presents a very very strange world which the author published back in 1931. As you can imagine from the time period, the rise of the Nazi party, a Japanese expansion and Fords assembly line all play into this work. Great book, and recomend to people with open minds who can see this world from huxleys point of view and is not affraid to see some of the similarities with our current world.

  • A Scary Reality

    It took years to realize the great insight of Aldous Huxley, but we're living in that world now, with more proof every day, but with most people in denial.

  • Huxley is good

    Product "Brave New World" a book by Aldous Huxley came in the condition as the picture showed and as the description described. This product was just what I was looking for; I got the book because of a school assignment. Most would say why didn't you just pick it up at he library? My answer to them is: Well you see that's what I did at first, but I needed to buy the book so that I could make notes a lot easier. It's just like people make notes in their bibles; this book is my bible for the assignment.

  • Concerningly Accurate

    A stand-out in the fiction world. 100 years later, this book may be more relevant now than when it was written.

  • Summer Read

    My child need this book for summer reading homework. I found it here for less than what the school and book store were selling it for. It didn't matter to us that it was used. :)
