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.-

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...

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...

The Tillotson Banquet
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.

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...

Complete Essays: Aldous Huxley, 1936-1938, Volume IV
ISBN: 9781566633949 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this fourth volume of a projected six, Huxley registers his deep misgivings about the course of history in the late 1930s as the world moved toward a second global war. Many of his essays reflect his continuing interest in the conventions of popular culture as well as the philosophy of science and history, particularly as they inform developments in art and politics. But his larger concerns oscillate between empirical science and the particulars of social history, on the one hand, and his need for a grounding of absolute truth that would transcend both. His critique of politics and the...
