Crome Yellow
ISBN: 9781440411526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley. It was published in 1921. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the witty story of a house party at 'Crome' (a lightly veiled Garsington) where there is a gathering of "bright young things." We hear some of the history of the house from Henry Wimbush, its owner and self-appointed historian; apocalypse is prophesied, virginity is lost and inspirational aphorisms are gained in a trance. Our hero, Denis Stone, tries to capture it all in poetry and is disappointed in love.

Crome Yellow
ISBN: 9781543236033 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The book contains a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's later novel, Brave New World. Mr. Scogan, one of the characters, describes an -impersonal generation- of the future that will -take the place of Nature's hideous system. In vast state incubators, rows upon rows of gravid bottles will supply the world with the population it requires. The family system will disappear; society, sapped at its very base, will have to find new foundations; and Eros, beautifully and irresponsibly free, will flit like a gay butterfly from flower to flower through a sunlit world.-

There had been phantoms, pale-remembered shapes Of this and this occasion, sisterly In their resemblances, each effigy Crowned with the same bright hair above the nape's White rounded firmness, and each body alert With such swift loveliness, that very rest Seemed a poised movement: ... phantoms that impressed But a faint influence and could bless or hurt No more than dreams. And these ghost things were she; For formless still, without identity, Not one she seemed, not clear, but many and dim. One face among the legions of the street, Indifferent mystery, she was for him Something still...

ISBN: 9781512189599 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Young Spode was not a snob; he was too intelligent for that, too fundamentally decent. Not a snob; but all the same he could not help feeling very well pleased at the thought that he was dining, alone and intimately, with Lord Badgery. It was a definite event in his life, a step forward, he felt, towards that final success, social, material, and literary, which he had come to London with the fixed intention of making. The conquest and capture of Badgery was an almost essential strategical move in the campaign.

Nowy wspaniały świat 30 lat później
ISBN: 9788328709850 / Polski / Blister / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Dodatek do powieści "Nowy wspaniały świat" napisany przez Huxleya niespełna trzydzieści lat później.
Jak wiele z jego proroctw, w których ukazał satyryczną wizję dalekiej przyszłości, ziściło się w tak krótkim czasie? Gdy w 1932 roku ukazała się powieść "Nowy wspaniały świat", zawartą w niej szokującą analizę technokratycznej dyktatury uważano za odległą wizję. Po latach pisarz rozważa, w jaki sposób zmieniły się społeczeństwa, technologia i formy rządzenia od czasu ukazania się jego słynnej dystopii. Pisze o zjawiskach społecznych, które jego zdaniem...

Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley, Science Fiction, Classics, Literary
ISBN: 9781603129763 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. The Crome of this novel's title is an English Country House in which most of the action occurs. Aldous Huxley's first novel, Crome Yellow, was published in 1921, and, as a comedy of manners and ideas, its relatively realistic setting and format may come as a surprise to fans of his later works such as Point Counter Point and Brave New World. Some who know only Brave New World may not know that as a 16-year-old planning to enter medicine, Aldous Huxley was stricken by a serious eye disease which left him temporarily blind, and...
