Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. For most of the 1920s Huxley lived in Italy and an account of his experiences there can be found in Along the Road (1925). The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop,1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.

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.

看完这本书我是无比的悲哀。之所以悲哀是因为我认同这个可怕的乌托帮,我也无比坚定的相信我们的世界正在向那个方向发展。身在世界上最先进最富有的国家,这种感受尤为强烈。电视节目的完全娱乐化,每一个人群都有麻醉自己的节目;所有的声音都告诉你,你应该满足于现在这样的...

阿道司.赫胥黎在其经典著作《重返美丽新世界》的结尾里,简要地描述了实施“关于自由的教育”的必要性。或许由于赫胥黎对未来持悲观看法,这一终章给人的感觉是:自由价值的失败不可避免,其捍卫者所能做的,仅仅是拖延失败的来临,以及以“平静的良心”(欧里庇得斯语)拒绝在...

这些天,痛苦一遍遍地翻腾。在放纵心灵和等待麻木的过程中,我读到了《美丽新世界》。 那不一定是想象中的救赎,但至少带来了安慰。 不想讨论它的反乌托邦涵义和显而易见的政治讽喻,我只知道老赫胥黎穿越74年的时光让我明白孤独和痛苦意味着激情未泯,灵魂仍然品尝得到渴望的...

应该说赫胥黎在某些方面比奥威尔更高明,虽说总感觉brave new world的世界观有些太明显的漏洞。

如果小说的预言能够成真,我想未来不会是1984,反而是“美丽新世界”
