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.-

Aldous Huxley's Early Writings including (complete and unabridged) Crome Yellow, The Burning Wheel, The Defeat of Youth and Other Poems and Mortal Coi
ISBN: 9781781394861 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Crome Yellow, is Huxley's first novel, published in 1921. It is a British manor satire where almost nothing happens - even less than normal for this genre. The characters are immaculately presented and manage to express immense profundity in tiny conversations. The writing is wonderful and each turn of phrase is a gem. Huxley's genius shines through the book. It is hilarious, wry and erudite. The Burning Wheel is Huxley's first collection of Poetry, published in 1916 before any of his novels. He was not allowed to fight in the Great War due to his very poor eyesight and so it is unsurprising...
