Notă biografică
Aldous Leonard Huxley (1894 - 1963) was an English writer, novelist, philosopher and prominent member of the Huxley family. He graduated from Balliol College at the University of Oxford with a first class honours in English literature. The author of nearly fifty books, he was best known for his novels including Brave New World, set in a dystopian future; for non-fiction works, such as The Doors of Perception, which recalls experiences when taking a psychedelic drug; and a wide-ranging output of essays. Early in his career Huxley edited the magazine Oxford Poetry and published short stories and poetry. Mid career and later, he published travel writing, film stories and scripts. He spent the later part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. In 1962, a year before his death, he was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature. Huxley was a humanist, pacifist and satirist. He later became interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism, in particular universalism. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in seven different years.
Recenzii
"Few
present-day
writers
would
dare
to
be
so
heroically
encyclopaedic,
such
ardent
gleaners
of
gossip
and
table
talk
as
well
as
of
the
profounder
reveries
of
literature,
history,
science
and
religion"
Spectator
"The
great
uniting
principles
that
swept
mankind
along
in
their
current
have
lost
their
force,
and
Huxley's
intellectuals
find
themselves
in
a
maelstrom
formed
by
the
new
forces
of
the
time.
For
them,
life
has
become
boring,
futile,
full
of
ennui.
So
we
get
the
'Antic
Hay',
the
dance
of
profane
love,
but
with
the
wood-wild
strains
of
Pan
broken
up
into
the
hesitating
rhythms
demanded
by
the
fever
of
modern
life.
Huxley
has
a
fine
sensibility
and
his
wit
and
fresh
vision
lend
Antic
Hay
a
crystalline
quality"

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Portraying the revolving clash between class ideals, Antic Hay is a stunning cultural critique on life in London circa 1923. With a sharp comedic edge, author Aldous Huxley delivers a novel of ideas aimed at characterizing the unsettling times following the end of World War I.
With over-the-top characters, and ensuing brutish conversations, Antic Hay doesn't follow a typical narrative arc. Huxley's work portrays a world entirely fabricated on gossip, lies, and one man's yearning for societal approval. Dripping with prose that brandished Huxley as somewhat of an iconoclast, Antic Hay has been hailed as Huxley's first masterpiece, paving the way for books with even more controversial subject matter like that of his most popular novel, Brave New World.
With an eye-catching cover that mirrors the complexities of Huxley's world and a professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Antic Hay is both modern and readable. Also included is a new note about the author.
