Synopsis

Brave New World is possibly Huxley's most widely read novel, and his influence is evident in much of the quality science fiction novel as well as the philosophical novels. It presents a world in which the State controls even the smallest detail of the lives of individuals, which it keeps in ignorance, the product of a purified brainwashing. New Visit to a Happy World is the work that Huxley wrote years later, analyzing his own novel and judging where he had been wrong and, above all, how he had been right when detecting social and political trends that threatened humanistic culture and society. Two texts that complement and enrich each other, as well as an invitation to reflect on the destiny of humanity.

About this title

About the Author

Aldous Huxley trained at Eton and Oxford, made his name with his first predominantly satirical novels, but the success and critical attention came to him with Contrapunto, which was followed by Brave New World, perhaps his most famous work and without a doubt the most disturbing. He spent time writing film scripts in Hollywood, until he returned to the forefront with novels such as The Genius and the Goddess, Time Must Stop, Mono and Essence and The Island. He is also the author of influential essays, including The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, New Visit to a Happy World or those gathered in If My Library Burns Tonight.
