In his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited, Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley''s views on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising and government control, and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

The grandson of biologist T. H. Huxley, Aldous Huxley had a privileged background and was educated at Eton and Oxford despite an eye infection that left him nearly blind. Having learned braille his eyesight then improved enough for him to start writing, and by the 1920s he had become a fashionable figure, producing witty and daring novels like CROME YELLOW (1921), ANTIC HAY (1923) and POINT COUNTER POINT (1928). But it is as the author of his celebrated portrayal of a nightmare future society, BRAVE NEW WORLD (1932), that Huxley is remembered today. A truly visionary book, it was a watershed in Huxley''s world-view as his later work became more and more optimistic - coinciding with his move to California and experimentation with mysticism and psychedelic drugs later in life. Nicholas Murray''s brilliant new book has the greatest virtue of literary biographies: it makes you want to go out and read its subject''s work all over again. A fascinating reassessment of one of the most interesting writers of the twentieth century.

Aldous Huxley was one of the twentieth century's most prescient thinkers. This new biography is a rich and lucid account that charts the different phases of Huxley's career: from the early satirist who depicted the glamorous despair of the postwar generation, to the committed pacifist of the 1930s, the spiritual seeker of the 1940s, the psychedelic sage of the 1950s - who affirmed the spiritual potential of mescaline and LSD - to the New Age prophet of Island. While Huxley is still best known as the author of Brave New World, Poller argues that it is The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception and Island - Huxley's blueprint for a utopian society - that have had the most cultural impact.

Audiokniha: Prorocká distopie o civilizaci inženýrů lidských duší Kultovní satirická antiutopie Aldouse Huxleyho je zneklidňujícím, prorockým obrazem budoucnosti, které vládne genové inženýrství, všeobecná diktatura, zábavy a chemicky navozovaného pocitu štěstí. Neveselé podobenství o civilizaci, která se pokusila hrát si na Boha a přetvořit k obrazu svému nejen přírodu, ale i lidskou duši, je jedním z nejpozoruhodnějších děl science-fiction minulého století. Ačkoli kniha vznikla v roce 1932, její poselství je v době experimentů s lidskými kmenovými buňkami, masové spotřeby a mocných médií, jejichž mantry pronikají do všech aspektů života, stále ostře aktuální. Londýn po roce 2540, ve kterém lidé uměle zvyšují svoji spokojenost za cenu ztráty citů a emocí, konfrontuje autor s prostorem Nového Mexika, dosud nepodrobené divočiny, kde přežívá člověk netknutý „civilizací“ konzumu, který mnohem více trpí, odříká si a bojuje, ale zato také více žije. Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) Britský spisovatel, který většinu svého dospělého života prožil ve Spojených státech. Proslavil se svými utopickými a distopickými romány, ale psal i eseje, poezii, povídky, cestopisy a filmové scénáře. Svými názory byl pacifista a humanista, zajímal se o parapsychologii i filozofický mysticismus, obhajoval užívání halucinogenních látek. Své psychedelické zkušenosti popsal v legendární knize The Doors of Perception, která ovlivnila rané hnutí hippies. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Crome Yellow (1921) is a novel by English author Aldous Huxley. Inspired by his stay at Garsington Manor with members of the Bloomsbury Group, Crome Yellow, Huxley’s debut novel, satirizes the society of England’s intellectual and political elite. In addition to its autobiographical content, the novel investigates such themes as spirituality, the nature and composition of art, and the fear of a dystopian future.Invited to spend part of the summer at Crome, a country estate owned by Priscilla and Henry Wimbush, Denis Stone arrives by train carrying a draft of his first novel, which he intends to complete during his stay. There, he is introduced as a poet, and quickly falls in love with the young Anne Wimbush, herself enthralled with the painter Gombauld. Faced with disillusionment and disappointment, Stone struggles to write while being subjected to pseudointellectual conversations, lengthy public readings, and devastating characterizations by the guests and hosts of Crome. Memorable characters include Mary Bracegirdle, an adventurous and amorous flapper; Mr. Barbecue-Smith, a hack writer; and Mr. Scogan, a doomsayer with an elaborate dystopian vision.

After spending his days directing operations on the battlefield, Father Joseph would pass the night in prayer, or in composing spiritual guidance for the nuns in his care. He was an aspirant to sainthood and a practising mystic, yet his ruthless exercise of power succeeded in prolonging the unspeakable horrors of the Thirty Years'' War.

This smart, provocative look at how the American Dream of single-family homes, white picket fences, and two-car garages became a lonely, overpriced nightmare explores how new trends in housing can help us live better. Over the past century, American demographics and social norms have shifted dramatically. More people are living alone, marrying later in life, and having smaller families. At the same time, their lifestyles are changing, whether by choice or by force, to become more virtual, more mobile, and less stable. But despite the ways that today's America is different and more diverse, housing still looks stuck in the 1950s. In Brave New Home, Diana Lind shows why a country full of single-family houses is bad for us and our planet, and details the new efforts underway that better reflect the way we live now, to ensure that the way we live next is both less lonely and more affordable. Lind takes readers into the homes and communities that are seeking alternatives to the American norm, from multi-generational living, in-law suites, and co-living to microapartments, tiny houses, and new rural communities.

he world's leading expert on the human settlement of Mars explains what Martian societies will look like - sooner than we thinkWithin a few years, humans will be able to voyage to Mars. SpaceX is at the forefront of companies already building fleets of spaceships to make interplanetary travel as affordable as Old-World passage to America – to the then New World. We will settle the red planet, transforming its raw materials into resources and tackling the challenges that await us, creating a new frontier for humankind.Dr Robert Zubrin explains how populous Martian city-states will emerge, producing their own air, water, food, power and more. How they must be beautiful to attract settlers, and what that might look like. How the primary exports are unlikely to be material goods but intellectual products, created by a technically adept population in a frontier environment where people will be forced to innovate – including GMOs, robotics, AI and power production.Zubrin even predicts the red planet’s customs, social relations and government – of the people, by the people, for the people, with inalienable individual rights – that will overcome traditional forms of oppression to draw talented Earth immigrants.

‘A far-sighted analysis of the world order, and an urgent warning of what the future may hold in store.’ Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads‘Excellent ... In the face of countries such as China and Russia challenging the US-led international order, Neumann’s book is a plea to Western countries to acknowledge their mistakes - but not to abandon the very values that have inspired others around the world.’ Emma Sky, author of The UnravellingThe West has fatally overestimated itself. What does this mean for the world?Over the last thirty years, through a mixture of naivety and arrogance, the West has lost its global advantage. Today’s challenges are profound: climate change, polarisation in society, and tensions with Russia and China. Instead of a liberal world order, a new world disorder has emerged. Yet the triumph of the West had seemed unstoppable not that long ago. After the end of the Cold War, the democratic market economy took hold in the former Eastern Bloc, Russia went from being an enemy to a partner, and even China turned to capitalism. Then came the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that shook the world. The War on Terror destabilised an entire region; the Arab Spring ... Unknown localization key: "more"
