  • THE MAKING OF A MAN
    ALDOUS HUXLEY
    Excerpt: “The story within these covers has been written from impressions received in boyhood days, ideas which time could not erase and which the passing of the years has developed and strengthened. It is perhaps only fair to state frankly that the story is largely founded on fact, though, for purposes which will be obvious, the characters have been treated from a general rath...

  • ANTIC HAY
    ALDOUS HUXLEY
    Antic Hay is one of Aldous Huxley's earlier novels, and like them is primarily a novel of ideas involving conversations that disclose viewpoints rather than establish characters; its polemical theme unfolds against the backdrop of London's post-war nihilistic Bohemia. This is Huxley at his biting, brilliant best, a novel, loud with derisive laughter, which satirically scoffs at...

  • ON THE MARGIN: NOTES AND ESSAYS
    ALDOUS HUXLEY
    Excerpt: "From Bocca di Magra to Bocca d’Arno, mile after mile, the sandy beaches smoothly, unbrokenly extend. Inland from the beach, behind a sheltering belt of pines, lies a strip of coastal plain—flat as a slice of Holland and dyked with slow streams. Corn grows here and the vine, with plantations of slim poplars interspersed, and fat water-meadows. Here and there the stream...

  • LEDA
    ALDOUS HUXLEY
    Aldous Huxley is back in the old smooth, mythological world, consecrated by a thousand poets. He pays occasional tribute to ugly fact in the course of this poem, but he is at home while describing Leda with her maids bathing in Eurotas, her shining body, and the clear deep pools! The modern terror of the too-perfect world makes him dwell longer, and more humorously, than his pr...

    Un Mundo Feliz es un clásico, tanto de la ciencia-ficción como de la literatura universal. Un clásico entre los clásicos.

No está en discusión la fama que esos títulos merecen, sino la forma en que relegaron otros textos ...

Una buena dosis de Huxley quintaesenciado que demuestra la absoluta vige...
