Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.

阿道司.赫胥黎在其经典著作《重返美丽新世界》的结尾里,简要地描述了实施“关于自由的教育”的必要性。或许由于赫胥黎对未来持悲观看法,这一终章给人的感觉是:自由价值的失败不可避免,其捍卫者所能做的,仅仅是拖延失败的来临,以及以“平静的良心”(欧里庇得斯语)拒绝在...
评分 评分首先说,看这本书来自neil.postman的《娱乐至死》,后来才知道其与奥威尔的《1984》,扎米亚京的《我们》并称为反乌托邦三部曲,在postman看来《美丽新世界》和《1984》描绘的是两个相反的未来,而在读过此书后,我觉得这种相反反而只是表面上的。内在来看,他们描绘的都是又精...

评分2020已读012 今年读完的第三本英文书。文学性比1984强多了,阅读的时候一遍遍想起《地下室手记》和《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》,仿佛看到陀爷的隐约构想被一字一句推演成了现实。然而难以理解的是野蛮人约翰从小受的教育是莎士比亚+印第安神话传说,怎么后面就突然变成了卫道士+神棍,这个转折我真是不太明白啊。。。
评分甩1984n条街
评分通宵看完!为什么标签里有高中!!!!!!!!
