About the Book

Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura del siglo XX, una sombría metáfora de un futuro posible.

Con ironía mordiente, el genial autor inglés plasma una sombría metáfora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los últimos años.

La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit

"A masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." --Wall Street Journal

Aldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece. From the author of The Doors of Perception, Island, and countless other works of fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, and poetry, comes this powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations.

Brave New World remains absolutely relevant to this day as both a cautionary dystopian tale in the vein of the George Orwell classic 1984, and as thought-provoking, thoroughly satisfying entertainment.
About the Author: Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), novelista, ensayista, crítico y poeta inglés, nieto de Thomas y hermano de Julian, ambos científicos de renombre. Nació en Godalming, Surrey, y estudió en el colegio Eton y la universidad de Oxford. Trabajó en varios periódicos y publicó cuatro libros de poesía antes de la aparición de su primera novela, Los escándalos de Crome (1921). Las novelas Heno antiguo (1923) y Contrapunto (1928), que ilustran el ambiente nihilista de la década de 1920, y Un mundo feliz (1932), una visión deshumanizada y utópica del futuro, le hicieron famoso. Durante gran parte de esta época vivió en Italia y Francia. En 1937 emigró a Estados Unidos. Entre sus más de 45 libros destacan los de ensayo, Un Pilatos burlón (1926), Mañana y mañana y mañana (1956), Nueva visita a un mundo feliz (1958) y Literatura y ciencia (1963). Otras novelas son Ciego en Gaza (1936), Viejo muere el cisne (1939), Mono y esencia (1948) y La isla (1962). Huxley también escribió crítica científica, filosófica y social, con obras importantes como El arte de ver (1932), La filosofía perenne (1946) y Los demonios de Loudon (1952). Se interesó mucho por el misticismo y la parapsicología. Las puertas de la percepción (1954) y su continuación, Cielo e infierno (1956), tratan de sus experiencias con drogas alucinógenas.
