Àííîòàöèÿ: Brave New World is a dystopian novel written in 1931 by English author Aldous Huxley, and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State of genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that are combined to make a utopian society that goes challenged only by a single outsider.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This collection now contains 175 poems by 86 poets and ranges chronologically from W.B.Yeats to Geoffrey Hill.The character of the anthology can be simply indicated.It is a representative collection of English verse written between 1918 and 1960.The present collection, which was first published under the title THE PENGUIN BOOK OF CONTEMPORARY VERSE in 1950 and has been frequently reprinted, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared

Àííîòàöèÿ: Written at the height of his powers immediately after Brave New World, Aldous Huxley's highly acclaimed Eyeless in Gaza is his most personal novel. Huxley's bold, nontraditional narrative tells the loosely autobiographical story of Anthony Beavis, a cynical libertine Oxford graduate who comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. Unfulfilled by his life, loves, and adventures, Anthony is persuaded by a charismatic friend to become a Marxist and take up arms with Mexican revolutionaries. But when their disastrous embrace of violence nearly kills them, Anthony is left shattered—and is forced to find an alternative to the moral disillusionment of the modern world.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The present collection, which was first published in 1950 and has been reprinted seventeen times, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared.

Àííîòàöèÿ: "One of the most notable and attractive forms of English Literature is the essay. In his introduction to this selection, first made for Pelican in 1942 and now enlarged and reprinted, Sir William Emrys Williams points out that the Essay, —has a multitude of forms and manners, and scarcely any rules and regulations.— Although many of the pieces chosen for this volume are such well-known ones as Charles Lamb—s —In Praise of Chimney Sweepers— or De Quincy—s memorable commentary on an episode in —Macbeth—, an endeavour has been made to remind readers that Addison, for example, wrote other and better essays than the few which are usually included in anthologies. Modern writers such as Hilaire Belloc, JB Priestly, Aldous Huxley, Robert Lynd, Ivor Brown, Harold Nicholson. EV Lucas, and VS Pritchett are given a fair share of representation."

Àííîòàöèÿ: Huxley's utopia and final novel, set in the fictional Buddhist Island of Pala. Pala offers psychedelicdrugs ("moksha medicine") and tantric sex; but otherwise isn't much fun.

Àííîòàöèÿ: 1923. Antic Hay is one of Aldous Huxley s earlier novels, and like them is primarily a novel of ideas involving conversations that disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London s post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best, a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at all conventional morality and at stuffy people everywhere, a novel that s always charged with excitement.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Huxley s vision of the future in his astonishing 1931 novel Brave New World -- a world of tomorrow in which capitalist civilization has been reconstituted through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, where the people are genetically designed to be passive, consistently useful to the ruling class.

Àííîòàöèÿ: London life just after World War I, devoid of values and moving headlong into chaos at breakneck speed - Aldous Huxley s Antic Hay, like Hemingway s The Sun Also Rises, portrays a world of lost souls madly pursuing both pleasure and meaning. Fake artists, third-rate poets, pompous critics, pseudo-scientists, con-men, bewildered romantics, cock-eyed futurists - all inhabit this world spinning out of control, as wildly comic as it is disturbingly accurate. In a style that ranges from the lyrical to the absurd, and with characters whose identities shift and change as often as their names and appearances, Huxley has here invented a novel that bristles with life and energy, what the New York Times called a delirium of sense enjoyment!
