After Many a Summer Dies the Swan
ISBN: 9781566630184 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity-these are the elements of Aldous Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely. With his customary wit and intellectual sophistication, Huxley pursues his characters in their quest for the eternal, finishing on a note of horror. "This is Mr. Huxley's Hollywood novel, and you might expect it to be fantastic, extravagant, crazy and preposterous. It is all that, and heaven and hell too....It is the kind of novel that he is particularly the master...

The Tillotson Banquet
ISBN: 9781512189599 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

Along the Road
ISBN: 9783737101929 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mit «Along the Road» lernen wir Aldous Huxley, den Autor der visionären Dystopie «Schöne neue Welt», von einer bisher kaum bekannten Seite kennen: als großen Reiseschriftsteller. Huxley führt uns durch das Europa der Zwanziger, eine Welt im Umbruch, in der eine neue Mobilität auf alte Formen des Reisens prallt. Auch Huxley erliegt dem Reiz der Geschwindigkeit, wenn er mit seinem 10-PS-Citroën in Oberitalien an kunstbeflissenen deutschen Wandervögeln vorbeirauscht. Zugleich folgen wir einem humorvollen Flaneur, der im Zugabteil dritter Klasse den Geschichten der Menschen lauscht,...

Crome Yellow
ISBN: 9781440411526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

Time of the Oligarchs
ISBN: 9783446287259 / Angielski / Twarda / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As early as 1946 and with uncanny clarity, Aldous Huxley foreshadowed our present moment where technological progress has centralized political power in the hands of the few. In times of social upheaval, nationalism and geopolitical power games thrive, while democracy and solidarity come under attack. Aldous Huxley, the master of dystopian literature, describes the dawning age of a tech-oligarchy - a world in which boy gangsters run our governments and where our freedom is put at risk by the law of the strongest. Huxley's prophetic intervention was buried for 80 years. Today, it cuts right to...

Wyspa - Aldous Huxley
ISBN: 9788360685297 / Polski / Miękka / 2017 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. "Wyspa" to ostatnia powieść Aldousa Huxleya, uważana przez samego Autora za dzieło jego życia. W książce tej Huxley kontruje ironiczną wizję naszych czasów, którą namalował we wcześniejszym "Nowym Wspaniałym Świecie" (1932). W miejsce ponurej satyry "Wyspa" oferuje idylliczny obraz społeczności żyjącej w izolacji, rządzącej się prawami wyprowadzonymi z głębokich przemyśleń filozofii Wschodu. Huxley zaskakuje trafnością niektórych ze swoich przewidywań. Bawi kontrowaniem konsumpcyjnego Zachodu w stosowanej przez wyspiarzy psychologii społecznej i edukacji....

Ends and Means: An Inquiry into the Nature of Ideals
ISBN: 9781412847445 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contemporary intellectuals still struggle over the relationship of ends to means, especially in political discourse. Pacifism is still an important topic today, as terrorism and dictatorial states abound. Many will find solace in Ends and Means, while others will find the book only a case study of the relationship of ethics to politics. Aldous Huxley examines common issues in a unique fashion. How can the regression in charity through which we are living, and for which each one of us is in some measure responsible, be halted and reversed? How can existing society be transformed into the ideal...
